That is correct. Remember...Apple must give GT no less than 6 months notice to vacate the premises.
Although Apple owns the building, according to the settlement agreement, GT owns everything in it(except for the facilities of the building of course).
This means, if they wanted to, GT could take its ball and go home. Highly unlikely of course, but it is a reality.
GT is not obligated to sell the furnaces to Apple. Highly unlikely once again(at least not all of them), but they do not have to sell to Apple. Those furnaces are now open to the highest bidder which could turn this into a calamity, a favorable calamity.
Selling the furnaces to Apple would be good business sense for future potential collaboration, however, GT may not have the same level of trust now. They have seen what Apple did to them the first time(partially GT's own fault), and also realize that Apple could drop them at a moments notice because they already got what they wanted. The potential for a new partner, with new ideas could step in and really make this take off.
GT can forge new partnerships. Apple can too, but Apple can't do it without GT's products and IP, as evidenced by the article which I just spoke of.
GT will still benefit because whoever they decide to go with, will still have to buy stuff from GT.
