An iPhone or iPad will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) or another iPhone or iPad except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. See the following for more information. Bluetooth: Why can't I pair my iPhone or iPad with another iOS device or with my computer?
