Of course it's private property, and of course it's Apple's call what goes on there. I never claimed it was anything but. My argument was not one of ownership, but one of privacy. I was not using "public" as an antonym for "privately owned", but rather as an antonym for "in private". If I have sex on a public bus, I'm not going to be charged with misusing public property, I'm going to be charged with having sex in public.
