Well you are right. It is a reference to the type of fruit.
But then there already was a brand called McIntosh.
A very nice brand too:

Would love to have one of those. But they're a lot more expensive than the one that's spelled with an a in it

.
So that's why they couldn't give it the name they wanted.
I hope they stop putting an i in front of everything by the way. iI iam igetting isick iof iit.
A friend of mine was with me while I was installing iWork on my e(!)Mac.
