It is to my understanding that Apple and its lawyers aren't claiming that the code they create is "speech".

They are claiming that forcing Apple to digitally sign the codebase (which would be necessary to make it installable on the iPhone) would be a violation of freedom of speech.

I think this is a much more reasonable claim (but I'm not a law professor, so don't look at me).
