Transferring mp3 from iphone 4 to X with existing mp3's

I have an old phone 4 which I was using to store audiobook mp3's. I now have a new Iphone X with more memory and would lik to transfer the mp3 from 4 to X without losing existing mp3 on X. I have tried syncing on I tunes but could not transfer mp3s.

iPhone 4s, iOS 9

Hello faridmad,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities! I understand that you're wanting to transfer audiobooks in MP3 format from your iPhone 4 to your iPhone X without losing the existing MP3's on the iPhone X.


If audiobooks are purchased in Apple Books, they can be redownloaded on a supported device:


Redownload apps, music, movies, TV shows, and books


If the files came from a third-party source, there's not a supported method to transfer them from the iPhone 4 to iPhone X directly, or from the iPhone 4 to iTunes. The content would need to be already located on your computer, then synced to the iPhone X following the steps here:


Use iTunes to sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod with your computer - Apple Support


Take care.
