Cannot access iPhone files using my macbook via Bluetooth I turned on bluetooth on my Macbook Air 13" (Early 2015, 8 GB RAM) and on my iPhone SE.

I'm trying to access the files from iPhone using my macbook. When trying to connect to my iPhone, it shows an error: "There was an error connecting to the device".


  


However, if I start a personal hotspot on iPhone I can successfully connect via bluetooth and get internet from my phone.

Using my macbook I can successfully connect to my old Samsung S3100 phone and browse the files via bluetooth.

Also, I can use my iPhone to connect via bluetooth to my piano and get/send midi data from/to it.

I feel like just the communication between my mac and iPhone is kinda broken—it could be the cause why AirDrop is not working too.

How to fix/debug this?
iPhone does not support browsing files over Bluetooth.

Edit: Apple lists three methods for transferring data between a Mac and an iPhone.


AirDrop
Handoff
iCloud Drive


On that same page, Apple lists the built-in Mac browser for Bluetooth as an option for "other Bluetooth devices" and I think it is appropriate to infer that they thereby exclude the iPhone from that capability.
