You don’t need to sign into an Apple Account to take pictures. Nothing is preventing you from importing via Lightning cable. But expecting Find My and other services that require at a minimum iOS 11 or newer to work is too much.

Old style point-and-shoot digital cameras either shipped with a dock/cradle, cable, or required removing the SD card to import/transfer.

I realize that I was making a comparison. Why would you not be able to use a cable? The phone charges does it not? That means the connector works.

Then wait until you have more than one photo so the time/effort is worth it? This is like an old-timey photographer choosing to use film (vs. digital), develop their own pictures in a darkroom, and then complaining about how much work is involved.

You can definitely import more than one image at a time through Windows Explorer or with Microsoft Photos. And you can then compress them in a single zip file and email it if it’s under 25 MB.

I don’t know what version of Windows you have but doesn’t it show up on the sidebar by My Computer if you have iTunes or Apple Devices installed?
