Apple's chief executive Tim Cook said the firm wants to hire more staff in the UK, in contrast to redundancies seen across the tech sector.
He said the company wants to take on more staff to work in artificial intelligence (AI).
It comes a day after Fortnite-maker, Epic Games, announced it was cutting 16% of its workforce.Big firms including Amazon, Meta, Google and Microsoft have cut tens of thousands of jobs since 2022.Mr Cook has been critical of the trend of tech layoffs and in May, he called it a "last resort".
Instead, he told the PA news agency when asked about AI and jobs in the UK: "We're hiring in that area, yes, and so I do expect [investment] to increase. "Companies are pouring money into AI. Amazon announced an investment of up to $4bn (£3.3bn) in San Francisco-based AI firm Anthropic on Monday. That followed Microsoft's multibillion dollar investment in ChatGPT maker OpenAI in January.
Technology Secretary Michelle Donelan said Apple's decision was "another vote of confidence in our burgeoning tech sector". "Apple's ongoing investment in brilliant British talent highlights our global credentials as both an AI and technology superpower," she wrote on X, the microblogging site formerly known as Twitter.
Antony Walker, deputy chief of techUK, the industry association, said: "The transformative nature of AI will certainly boost staff headcount in AI businesses over the next couple of years."

Meta Platforms showed off a bevy of new AI features for its consumer-facing services Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp at its annual Meta Connect conference in Menlo Park, California, this week.
But the biggest news from Mark Zuckerberg’s company may have actually come in the form of a computer science paper published without fanfare by Meta researchers on the open access and non-peer reviewed website arXiv.org.
The paper introduces Llama 2 Long, a new AI model based on Meta’s open source Llama 2 released in the summer, but that has undergone “continual pretraining from Llama 2 with longer training sequences and on a dataset where long texts are upsampled,” according to the researcher-authors of the paper.
As a result of this, Meta’s newly elongated AI model outperforms some of the leading competition in generating responses to long (higher character count) user prompts, including OpenAI’s GPT-3.5 Turbo with 16,000-character context window, as well as Claude 2 with its 100,000-character context window.
Uber Freight has unveiled its product roadmap, incorporating artificial intelligence-powered software to transform the global movement of goods.
This announcement follows Uber Freight’s acquisition of transportation management company Transplace two years ago, which has enabled the company to build a logistics company offering end-to-end applications and services, the company said in a Thursday (Sept. 28) press release.
With an investment of $120 million in technology since the acquisition, Uber Freight has focused on scaling applications, generative artificial intelligence (AI), data-enabled insights tools, and capacity and mode expansions, according to the release.
One of the key updates is the upgrade of the Uber Freight Transportation Management System (TMS), the release said. This provides enhanced visibility, foresight and control for shippers across modes including rail, ocean and air.
