Asian electronics manufacturing giant Foxconn says it's still finding it difficult to cope with the massive demand for Apple's iPhone 5. Production of the phone started three months ago, but Foxconn Chairman Terry Gou stil complains that the phone is hard to make.
Taiwan's Foxconn Technology Group said on Wednesday the company's flagship Hon Hai unit is finding it difficult to cope with the massive demand for Apple Inc's iPhones.

"It's not easy to make the iPhones. We are falling short of meeting the huge demand," Foxconn Chairman Terry Gou told reporters after a business forum.

However, he declined to comment on brokerage reports saying that the group's other unit, Foxconn International Holdings (FIH), had taken on some production.
