There's some truth to this. Apple did used to mean basically any fruit. That's where we get "pineapple" in English. The Dutch call oranges "Chinese apples" and the French call potatoes "ground apples". Any new fruit or vegetable that came along was basically just some kind of apple. So I think Apple might have a case here.
