See the following from the System Requirements section of Use AirDrop to send files from your Mac to another nearby Mac or iOS device - Apple Support

Note that these requirements are different than the requirements for using AirDrop between two Macs.

Also note that the devices are not Bluetooth paired -- Bluetooth needs to be turned on in both devices but they are not paired.

In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

  • Your iOS device needs to include a lightning connector
  • Your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed
  • Your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model with OS X Yosemite installed*
  • Your Mac and iOS device both need bluetooth and Wi-Fi turned on. You do not have to be connected to a specific Wi-Fi network.
