Apple unveiled the latest generation of its flagship earbuds, AirPods Pro, on Monday, Oct. 28.

It can be hard to get all of your friends, family, coworkers, and acquaintances to jump on board with the more-secure email system ProtonMail, but that doesn't mean you can't still send them encrypted emails.
