Doesn't "apical" mean "with the tip of the tongue"? If so, then [S] is
certainly *not* apical. At least, I've never pronounced it that way (and I
cannot! When pronouncing [S], the tip of my tongue is *down*, and it's the
body of the tongue which is close to the palato-alveolar region) and I have
no default of pronunciation.

I think your confusion comes from your strange definition of [S]. I've even
seen articles describing sound changes from [s] to [S] due to a loss of
apicality!

You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
