Apple started under the leadership of Tim Cookand expand into many new industries and who he was until now Apple a multinational company that sold its hardware and software now offers its own music station, supports the healthcare industry and has also entered the world of fashion with the help of watches Apple Watch. On top of that, he started providing his own payment system Apple Pay and introduced Apple SIM, so when there was speculation that the company was interested in becoming a new virtual operator, it was very hard not to believe it (especially when Slovak FUN Radio is one of the virtual operators today).
However, the company today responded to speculation that it would like to launch its own MVNO service in the US and Europe, and by whom we normally learn that the company "does not discuss future plans", a spokesperson has now confirmed to CNBC that it has no plans to become a virtual operator and is not even discussing such a topic with major operators. However, the company seems to be planning miniat least one thing and that is to enforce the standard e-SIM, meaning that every phone will have a built-in SIM card and the user will select the operator whose services they want to use when setting up a new mobile phone. Regarding the transfer of phone numbers, it is possible that the phone number will be synchronized on iCloud and then this information is downloaded to the new mobile from a specific backup. He is not only interested in such a standard Apple, but also many other companies that joined his side and support this project.
