Apple and Amazon App Store and shared Appstore

        Apple and Amazon declined to further development of a lawsuit related to the name App Store. Recall that Apple is in the use of the name of the App Store, while Amazon is using the name Appstore. After several years of litigation, the company decided that both will use the name and will not pursue each other.

       wonder how Apple has motivated its failure to prosecute Amazon. A spokesman said: "There is no point to continue the proceedings. 900,000 apps and 50 billion downloads speak for themselves. People know which shop to choose." Representatives of the Amazon behave modestly.

That is, iPhone or iPad users can not use the Amazon Appstore, and vice versa.
