According to a CNBC tweet, Apple has denied reports that it is in talks to launch a mobile virtual network operator service.
The denial comes one day after Business Insider published a story claiming Apple was interested in leasing space from existing cellular carriers to provide its own service in which to offer data, calls and texts directly to iPhone users.
