Apple has said it will make some of its Mac Mini desktop computers in the US for the first time, as the technology giant works to boost domestic production under pressure from US President Donald Trump.

The iPhone maker unveiled plans on Tuesday for a "significant expansion" of its factory in Houston, Texas to manufacture Mac Mini devices and artificial intelligence servers.

Apple's latest move comes after the firm pledged last year to increase investment in the US by $600bn (£445bn).

The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the planned scale of Mac Mini production in the US. The niche compact computers, currently made in Asia, account for less than 5% of Mac sales.

"Apple is deeply committed to the future of American manufacturing, and we're proud to significantly expand our footprint in Houston with the production of Mac mini starting later this year," chief executive Tim Cook said in a statement.
