I'm trying to copy photos from old iPhone 4 to my Windows PC or Macbook Air 2017.
As I found, iPhone 4 is not compatible with my Macbook.
I tried it with Windows. When I connect the phone with a USB cable, it is not recognized by my Windows. Neither iTunes, nor Photos apps are able to recognize it.
Any constructive advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
Windows, Windows 10

How do you suppose I email them from this phone?
This phone has been with no service for years. It is CDMA, so no sim card. The only thing I can do is connect it to my home wifi.
Connect via Wi-Fi and email via some webmail like gmail.
I have two old iPhone 4S in the basement as well as MANY other old <cough>obsolete<cough> cell phones. I get a new phone from my kids when they upgrade (currently using iPhone 8 -- just yesterday Apple released iOS 16.7.14 update for it) or if the old phone no longer supports banking, parking etc.
If newer macOS can't anymore import the photos, try to email them to yourself.
It's hard to remember how the 4s works, but can't you use wifi for email? I know that my iPad doesn't have phone service, but I can email from it. It also sends texts.
What's different about this phone now than when you asked a couple of weeks ago? Did something change? You had said to edclange:
I've already tried a couple of 3rd party tools, no success.
In any case, your info is very clear and helpful.
Have you tied some new stuff? With what results?
Here's the link if you need to review it:

Same phone, but completely new issue.
I was able to "revive" this phone by installing a brand new battery. Once charged, the phone started in a normal state.
Now, as I posted, I want to copy the photos.
The phone is not connected to any mobile provider. It is connected to my home wi-fi.
Other than that, it seems like a fully functional device, but unfortunately not being detected by my computers when connected using usb cable, neither macbook air not windows pc.
Matti--I loved my 4s. It fit in the watch pocket of my jeans! Those were the days…

Yes, that's what I already tried. Having issues with connections to email server.
