Hi alpine1019,

Thanks for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. I understand you'd like to know how to disconnect your iPhone from your Mac. I can understand why you'd reach out for more information on this; I'd like to help. Disconnecting your iPhone from your Mac depends on the features you're using to connect them. If you're referring to features such as calls or messages going to your Mac you can disable them using these steps:

  • For calls tap Settings > Phone > Calls on Other Devices; disable the feature or deselect specific devices as needed.
  • For text messages tap Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding, disable any devices you don't want receiving your texts.

Other features that can be linked are mentioned in the following resource and would need to be disabled if you're using them: Use Continuity to connect your Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Watch

Lastly, there are some features that connect your iPhone and Mac via iCloud such as, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, iCloud Drive, Photos and others; you can disable these features in System Preferences > iCloud, or System Preferences > Apple ID, depending on your macOS version. If you'd like to stop using the iCloud account you use on your iPhone with your Mac, you'll need to sign out through System Preferences.

If you're referring to a different way of disconnecting your iPhone from your Mac, let me know.

Best Regards.
