Production on Apple's low-budget smartphone, the iPhone 5c, is being reduced even further.

According to C Technology, a Chinese website, Apple is still cutting down its orders of the iPhone 5c from their suppliers. Apparently consumers are more interested in the iPhone 5s than its colorful twin, the iPhone 5c.

C Technology reports that Protek (Pegatron), Apple's biggest assembly partner, has reduced production on the iPhone 5c form 320,000 units per day in October to 80,000 units per day. Meanwhile, Foxconn, Apple's backup iPhone 5c assembler, is producing just 8,000-9,000 units per day.

"Similar signs of continued iPhone 5s strength are showing up in data from analytics firm Fiksu, which shows iPhone 5s activity outpacing iPhone 5c activity by a 3-to-1 margin," MacRumors reports.

But this is not stopping the Google-owned Motorola from trying their hand at a budget conscious smartphone. Soon, Motorola will release the Moto G, which starts at just $179 for 8 gigabytes of memory and $199 for 16 gigabytes. A five megapixel camera (whose low pixel count is just one of several budget cuts), an FM radio and two SIM card slots, in case users wish to switch carriers, will also come with the Moto G.

The Moto G was released in Brazil and Parts of Europe on Wednesday. It will be available in the United States, India, Middle East and some parts of Asia in January. Latina America and the rest of Asia and Europe will see the phone within the next few weeks, while Africa will have to wait until early 2014.
