Foxconn now building enough phones ahead of busy Holiday season

Apple’s decision to have Foxconn drop iPhone 5c production in favor of manufacturing more iPhone 5s units is paying off.

After noticing that customers continue to flock for the higher-end iPhone models, Apple recently ordered its Asian suppliers to manufacture more of the expensive iPhone 5s, and less of the low-cost iPhone 5c.

That decision is paying off, as customers keeping snagging the high-end model, while availability improves with each passing day.

As of today, Apple has maximum availability of its iPhone 5s in all colors and storage capacities, as buyers are seeing their orders fulfilled in 24 hours, or less.

The situation is identical across Apple Stores in the US and Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Hong Kong. Notably, the much-coveted Gold model is available in similar quantities as the Space Gray and Silver models.
