Apple has issued a statement denying rumors that it's working to launch a mobile virtual network.

Yesterday, a report surfaced that claimed Apple has been privately trialing a MVNO service in the US but is also in talks with telecoms companies in Europe about bringing the service there.

Here's what the company told CNBC:

"We have not discussed nor do we have any plans to launch an MVNO," said an Apple spokeswoman in a statement on Tuesday.
