Apple's supplier is reportedly making record 5, 00, 000 iPhone 5S units per day to cater to the demand for the latest hi-tech smartphone with finger scanning technology.

The tech giant has requested its supplier, Foxconn, to shift resources away from the cheaper iPhone 5C and increased production for the standard iPhone 5S, thereby reduce waiting time for the latter device.

According to Mashable, sources have revealed that Foxconn is now producing the iPhone 5S at the rate of 5, 00, 000 units per day, and has 600 employees to achieve the daily target.

Apple's earlier marketing focus was on the cheaper iPhone 5C models, however, with lower demand for the phone, it has apparently shifted its resources on the standard iPhone5S which was immediately put in back order within week of launch in September, the report added.
