The Beats USB-C to Lightning Cable Stone is a 1.5-metre (5 ft) woven charging cable in the colour Beats calls Surge Stone, a warm light grey. One end is USB-C, the other is Lightning, so it links a modern USB-C charger, laptop or car port to an iPhone, iPad, AirPods case or Beats product that still uses Lightning. Beats says its cables are engineered by Apple and go through thousands of hours of testing during design and manufacturing. The cable handles charging, syncing and Apple CarPlay, and supports fast charging on select iPhones and iPads when paired with a suitable USB-C power adapter, which is sold separately.

Woven jacket and reinforced plugs
Most cables fail at the neck, where the plug meets the wire, after months of being bent around a bedside table or yanked out of a car socket. The Beats USB-C to Lightning Cable Stone answers that with a tangle-free woven jacket and plugs that Beats reinforces at the common strain points to help prevent fraying. The braid also stops the cable from coiling into knots inside a bag, so it comes out straight when you need it. Beats adds that the cable automatically regulates power transmission for extra protection while charging. None of this makes a cable indestructible, but it does mean the weak spots of a plain rubber cable have been addressed in the design.
Fast charging, syncing and what it needs
Plug the USB-C end into a USB-C power adapter or a USB-C port on a computer, and the Lightning end into your device. Beats states the cable supports fast charging on select iPhones and iPads; to reach those speeds, the iPhone needs a USB-C Power Delivery adapter, which is not in the box. Beats does not publish a wattage figure or a data-transfer speed for this cable, so we do not quote one. Connected to a Mac or PC, the same cable syncs and backs up a Lightning device, and Beats describes it as a cable to charge, sync and stream with any device that has a Lightning port.
CarPlay in the car
Many recent cars have USB-C ports, while older iPhones still use Lightning. The Beats USB-C to Lightning Cable Stone bridges the two, and Beats confirms it works with Apple CarPlay. At 1.5 metres it reaches from a centre-console port to a phone holder on the dashboard or to a passenger seat without stretching tight. The woven jacket copes better than a thin cable with being shut in a glovebox or stepped on in a footwell, which is why many people leave one permanently in the car.
Compatible devices
Beats lists the Beats USB-C to Lightning Cable Stone as compatible with iOS devices that have a Lightning port. Apple’s compatibility list runs from iPhone 5 to iPhone 14 Pro Max, many generations of iPad, iPad Air, iPad mini and iPad Pro with Lightning, AirPods and AirPods Max with a Lightning connector, and Lightning-based Beats products such as Beats Pill+. The USB-C end connects to USB-C Macs, PCs, chargers and car ports. It is not the cable for iPhone 15 or later, which use USB-C on both ends.
Who the Surge Stone colour suits
On the Beats USB-C to Lightning Cable Stone, Surge Stone is the lightest of the three colours Beats offers for this cable, alongside Bolt Black and Rapid Red. It is a warm light grey that sits well next to silver, white and starlight devices and light-coloured desks, and it is easy to spot inside a dark bag or on a car floor. The lighter braid will show dust and marks sooner than Bolt Black, so it suits people who keep a cable at home or on the desk. A damp cloth on an unplugged, dry cable keeps the braid looking clean.
Who This Is Not For
The Beats USB-C to Lightning Cable Stone is not for iPhone 15 or later, or any device with a USB-C port, because the far end is Lightning. It does not include a power adapter, and Beats does not publish a wattage or data speed, so anyone who needs a guaranteed figure should choose a cable that states one. If you only have USB-A chargers, you will need a USB-C adapter or a different cable. The light Surge Stone braid also shows dirt faster than black.
