Apple cutting the production of iPhone 5C in half

APPLE has halved production of its new cheaper, plastic-cased iPhone only a month after its release due to low demand in Chinese market. It is reported by a Chinese website C Technology that the company will reduce its current 300,000 unit-a-day pace to 150,000.

No comments have made by Apple on the reason for the cutback, but if the report is accurate, the most likely reason would be because of poor demand for the iPhone 5C as compared to Apple’s flagship iPhone 5S. Both phones were released last month; most people have been buying the iPhone 5S than the 5C

Apple developed low price version of iPhone5C especially for China and India. In China, demand for the 5C has been so low retailers were forced to lower the sale price even further.

Furthermore there's no delay to order a 5C on Apple's own website. Yet the company warns orders for the 5S is on back order.
