Apple's Beats brand today shared a new ad in its ongoing Pill People series, this time highlighting the various USB-C cables that Beats debuted earlier this week.

Apple's Beats brand is now offering several USB-C cables, including USB-C to USB-C, USB-C to USB-A, and USB-C to Lightning. The cables come in 1.5-meter and 20-centimeter options, with both sizes priced at $18.99. The cables come in four colors, and they can be purchased from the online Apple Store or Apple retail stores.

cute ad but amazon has tons of cables available. apple just trying to cash in on the beats name and cables. nothing special about them but the colorz

Beats have always been as much bout fashion as they are about sound. Some Beat look pretty cool imo. I wish I could afford some to have when out and about.
