We also got a slew of new Barbie posters, showing the various cast members with the iconic Barbie logo and text around them.

The posters do a great job of showing off Margot Robbie and crew — but what if you want to create your own Barbie poster? Twitter and Instagram have been filled with people putting photos of themselves on the now-iconic Barbie poster, and as it turns out, making a version with a picture of yourself is as simple as using a free Barbie poster generator (but sadly not quite as simple as it being its own native Barbie filter on Instagram).

Step 7: Tap the paint palette icon to choose a color for your Barbie selfie poster.

Step 8: Tap the pink Continue button once you're done.

How Halide Process Zero changed my iPhone camera forever
Using Halide Process Zero Camera on an iPhone 15 Pro Max.

How much AI is too much AI in pictures? Would you rather have your photos have some grain or have everything look sharpened with bright colors? Do you like what your eyes actually saw or the color-boosted eye-pleasing material appearing on your phone’s screen?

Here is an example. Take a look at the color of the sky. Now look at how the iPhone’s camera perceives it, with all the computation algorithms and signature color tone applied. It’s brazen how vastly different the real versus iPhone color chemistry is. If you go to Reddit and Apple’s Discussions forum, you will run into more contrarian views about the right approach to smartphone photography than there are theories about alien life.

What is USB OTG? Here’s how to use USB drives and more on your smartphone
The USB-C port on the Google Pixel 9 Pro.

USB Type-C has widely become the de facto primary means of wired connection for most of our electronic devices. It forms the basis for the latest generation of USB standards, USB 4, and has been present across multiple different devices ranging from phones and tablets to handheld gaming consoles, digital cameras, power banks, rechargeable lights, massage guns, etc. -- it's practically an endless list. Inarguably, Android phones have been the biggest driver of USB-C and have featured it for almost a decade, but it has also been more recently adopted by Apple on the iPhone 15, the new iPhone 16 series, and other devices, including the AirPods lineup.

While a single port across multiple devices is the basis for ultimate convenience, it also raises one major issue. Most of the legacy (and even some modern-day) USB peripherals use the larger USB Type-A connector, and they might outnumber the ones that have already transitioned to USB-C. Thankfully, there is a fairly easy solution to the problem, and that is using a dongle or a connector, with the connection facilitated by a very straightforward technology commonly known as USB OTG.

How to hide apps on your iPhone in iOS 18 and earlier

Some people love the iPhone’s home screen while others hate it. Unlike Android, which stores apps in an app drawer, the iPhone displays app icons directly on the home screen. This makes apps easily accessible, but it can also lead to a cluttered feeling, especially for app enthusiasts. The introduction of the App Library has helped by providing a central place to organize apps, but for many people, the home screen remains the primary place for app storage.
