Problem using Bluetooth and Airdrop between MBR Early 2011 2,3 GHz Intel Core i5 and iPhone SE model A1723

Recently I upgrade my MBP to High Sierra and thinks seems to work super ok until the point that I try to connect MBP with my iPhone.

The only way that I manage to do that is through USB but I want to use Bluetooth or AirDrop.

After quite a lot of tries and research on internet I am not able to use neither Bluetooth or AirDrop.

With Bluetooth I manage to pair the devices but when I am trying to browse the iPhone through MBP I get an error: "The device does not have the necessary services".

There is some people on internet that they said its not possible to use bluetooth or airdrop with an old MBP and some others that they manage through complicated use of Terminal.


I Kindly ask if there is anyone to advice me accordingly.

AirDrop between a Mac and an iOS device requires that the Mac be a 2012 or newer model.
