Q: why can't iPhone 6 9.2 send pair with mac pro 10.11.1 using airdrop?

If AirDrop isn't working, one possibility is the age of the Mac. See the quote below from Use AirDrop to send content from your Mac - Apple Support
To send items to an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you need a 2012 or newer Mac model with OS X Yosemite or later, excluding the Mac Pro (Mid 2012).

And my OS is El Capitan. Dear Foxfifth, Before responding you could've check my earlier question's subject line, where my iPhone and my MBP's version were stated clearly.
And before replying you could have read my post where I mentioned that the "age" of your Mac might be a possible issue. Nowhere in the subject line or the body of your post do you mention whether it was a 2012 or newer model.
