Okay, so the rumor came from a Chinese news site, right?
Well, when native speakers of mandarin chinese pronounce the "x" sound, they usually confuse the sounds between "th" and "s" and "x".
So, iphone "math" might just be iphone "max" when the first person tried to pronounce the name.
I mean, iPhone max is still a stupid name, but certainly makes more sense than iPhone "math"...
