Apple stops iPhone 5C production at Foxconn: Report
NEW DELHI: Here's more evidence that Apple's budget phone bet may not have exactly paid. According to a report, the company is reportedly completely stopping the production of iPhone 5Cat Foxconn's factory.
The report on Korean technology website DigiTimes says that Foxconn will stop manufacturing iPhone 5C at its factory in Zhengzhou, northern China, citing industry sources. This plant will now be used for manufacturing iPhone 5S, which has been in short supply since the two models launched.
Apple assembler Pegatron recently reported a lower-than-expected third-quarter net profit of $84.29 million as order cutbacks for the cheaper iPhone 5C hurt the Taipei-based contract manufacturer's bottom line.
Initially, 70% of iPhone 5C manufacturing was contracted to Pegatron, while Foxconn was given the rest of the share. However, Apple reduced the iPhone 5C volumes at Pegatron by 20% and Foxconn by 30%, according to the report.
Apple has seen its best iPhone launch this year, even though iPhone 5S has been responsible for the bulk of sales. While the higher priced model has been a huge hit, iPhone 5C has not seen much traction.
Even in India, consumers purchased iPhone 5C on the first weekend only because the iPhone 5S was sold out. Apple is reportedly planning to announce a buyback plan for the iPhone 5C and iPhone 4S, much like it did for iPhone 4 earlier this year.
