Apple is facing a lawsuit from three customers who lost a combined $1.8 million due to a fake Bitcoin wallet app in the App Store.

The plaintiffs, James Ramirez, Christopher Ellis, and Jalen Delgado, downloaded the Sparrow Wallet app from May to August 2025, thinking it was legitimate because of Apple's marketing claims about the safety and trustworthiness of the App Store.

However, Sparrow Wallet is only available on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and scammers had released fake lookalike apps in the App Store that tricked users into giving up control of their funds.

The complaint alleges that Apple failed to adequately review and monitor apps distributed through the App Store, despite its marketing efforts.
