Apple’s App Store is under fire in a new lawsuit after three users lost over $1.8 million to a fake crypto wallet app called Sparrow Wallet — a blatant scam that exploits Apple’s “vetted safety” claim. The real Sparrow Bitcoin wallet isn’t even on iOS, making the fake app a perfect bait. Plaintiffs argue Apple ignored known fraudulent apps, shattering its safety narrative. While Apple won’t comment directly, it told TechCrunch it swiftly removes impersonators — and claims no Sparrow knock-offs are currently live. Still, in 2025 alone, Apple rejected 371,000 apps for being copies, spam, or deceptive — proving this isn’t the first time the App Store’s security has been called into question.
