Activation trouble

Hi, I have an old iPhone 4 which I’m having trouble trying too activate because I no longer have the email account or Apple ID I used to set it up originally, Is there any way activating it or should I just bin it?

iPhone 4 (8GB)

Why should you bin it?


I have iPhone 4S iOS 9.3.6, iPhone 6 12.4.6, iPhone SE iOS 13.4.1, iPhone 8 iOS 13.4.1 and an iPad Pro iPadOS 13.4.1. Prior to that I had iPhone 3GS which is not working any more.

I have been updating all these devices whenever a new iOS is released. I have never encountered any issue whatsoever after any update because I have never downloaded anything over internet directly. Always used apps from App Store only.

Though iOS is not released for many of the above devices but I do not find any issue in its functionality.
