While Comcast has been very tight-lipped about its soon-to-launch mobile phone service, it appears the MVNO-based wireless product will very likely be available for iPhone.
Comcast’s name was included in a list of carrier bundles released by Apple. According to FierceWireless, the list includes “Verison_Comcast_LTE_US,” mentioning the service “Xfinity Mobile.” A source confirmed to FierceWireless that Comcast has indeed signed a deal with Apple ahead of Xfinity Mobile’s launch.
