The company has used this claim to push back against deregulation of the app ecosystem, including third-party app stores and sideloading.
The new filing states, "...as part of a sustained marketing campaign, Apple has positioned itself, its products and services, as offering a level of security and trustworthiness superior to any competing technology company.
This includes assurances about the safety of applications distributed through its App Store, by retaining exclusive control over which apps are permitted on Apple devices."
Apple has structured its platform to ensure that consumers depend entirely on its promise of safety and reliability.
The complaint also accuses Apple of knowingly hosting fraudulent apps, pointing to public criticism by Sparrow Bitcoin Wallet's creator Craig Raw, who said Apple had allowed fake Sparrow Wallet apps to remain on the App Store.
The three plaintiffs are asking for a trial by jury and seek to recoup their lost money and other damages.
They also want Apple to provide warnings and disclosures about the app store's risk.
Apple declined to comment on the lawsuit.
The company did stand behind its security measures, telling TechCrunch that apps impersonating others are a violation of its guidelines and it takes swift action to remove them.
Apple added that there are currently no Sparrow wallet copycats on the App Store.
The company also pointed to its latest analysis of its ecosystem, which found that in 2025, it rejected more than 371,000 submissions that copied other apps were spam or otherwise misled users.
That's all for now.

After OpenAI recently admitted that one of its models had breached the systems of AI platform Hugging Face, Hugging Face's CEO, Clem DeLong, posted on X that he was flying to San Francisco to have a little chat with that rogue agent.

Also, he wants more capabilities for defenders, calling for OpenAI to commit $100 million worth of computing power to help the Hugging Face community build powerful cyber defenses with the best open and closed models.

DeLong added, "...the first autonomous agent cyber attack is an unprecedented event.

It deserves an unprecedented response."

Despite the autonomous nature of the attack, cybersecurity experts suggested that it could also be blamed on human error, namely OpenAI's apparent failure to properly configure what should have been a fully isolated testing environment.
