I think they mean 1 app store for each of their products.
Ah yes, the classic "I didn't commit a crime, I committed 5 crimes" defense. It's a bold move Cotton, lets see how it works for them.
It seems to be a way to minimize the incoming damage. The EU would have to prosecute each platform separately if the argument holds.
And as someone who owns both an iPhone and an iPad, it’s obviously complete horseshit; If I buy an app on my iPhone and the same app is available on the iPad, it automatically gets added there too.
I would be curious to see how they separate those different catalogs on their backend. I assume that the store detects which device and serves a list of compatible apps.
From the article it's just the different stores for different hardware (iPhone, iPad, etc...)
