I have an I phone 13 and cannot connect to my Mac mini, iPhone shows it available on the bluetooth. but if I try to connect I get the Pairing unsuccessful message Mac mini is not supported, why does it show on my bluetooth available? OS Ventura 13.4.1
iPhone 13, iOS 16
It worked like a dream for six months - and now it doesn't - the bluetooth on the M1 does not even recognise that my iPhoneX is there... But several 'security' updates later and it's all broken.
My M1 will pair to the hotspot on my iPhoneX, and it will connect with iTunes/Music over the cable... BUT bluetooth is a 'no'
One could observe that this is engineered obsolescence at work designed to push us to new models of iPhone, but that would be pure speculation on my part...

How to Reset Your Mac's Bluetooth Module to Fix Connection Issues...

it's how bluetooth works really
same with you can see all wifi networks in your area under wifi networks
if a bluetooth devices is in pairing/discovery mode and you don't already have it added it will show up in your list
even if it's a device you can do nothing with, there are great many bluetooth devices and their roles are called bluetooth profiles, List of Bluetooth profiles - Wikipedia
non to very few devices reallys upport all profiles, but would still see the bluetooth device even if it only offers profiles it can't use.
This is expected behaviour. While there are many activities that require Bluetooth to be turned on, they do not require pairing in the traditional sense. What are you hoping to accomplish?
