Hello Phil, Although this would not be the preferred method, one use of the Bluetooth connection between your iPhone and Mac is that you could use the phone to give your Mac access to the internet. This would be done by enabling your phone's wireless hot spot feature.
So, if you were in a hotel, out in the park, or anywhere that you have cellular connectivity, you could use that cellular connection to give your Mac, or any Bluetooth device, for that matter, access to the web. In order to do this, you must make certain that you have the hot spot feature enabled via your wireless provider.

I tapped on MacBook air and the iPhone connected to the MacBook via Bluetooth, but I don’t have any idea what that could be used for. Nothing seemed to have changed, that is, the iPhones audio did not shift over to the MacBook air or anything like that. Can anybody tell me what the purpose of this connection could be and how it might be used? Sent from my IPhone -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
