Three iOS users have sued Apple in federal court in California, according to MacRumors, alleging they lost about $1.8 million in bitcoin after downloading a fake Sparrow Wallet app from the App Store between May and August 2025. The complaint says Apple often took little or no action even after victims reported the fraud, while other fake Sparrow apps remained available in the store. Sparrow Wallet developer Craig Raw also publicly criticized Apple, saying the company responded slowly to multiple impersonation apps appearing on the App Store and failed to remove the fake listings in time. The lawsuit centers on Apple’s handling of fraudulent wallet apps and its response after reports were made by affected users.
