Can I transfer data from my old iPhone to the new without using iCloud?
my wife has an iPhone 4 without access to iCloud. Can she transfer her data to a new iPhone (SE or 13)? If so, how?

The support article you arrived here from provides you with three potential methods to transfer data between these devices. Most likely, the only one that will work for you is the last one, which is to use iTunes/Finder to make the data transfer.
You should be able to:
Though, it's been a long time since I've had any reason to see what happens when trying to sync an iPhone 4 as it's about 12 years old now.
If you have a Mac, check and see whether the old iPhone can be set up to backup to the Mac. If it can, you can use the backup to restore back to the new phone during the setup of the new phone.

As I recall, the backup of an old iPhone 5 worked fine, but it's been some time since I did this. Don't know about an iPhone 4, but it will only take a few minutes to find out if it can backup to the Mac.
