If Apple has any reason to believe they are benefiting from underpaid labour then they are responsible.
You don't just get to say "well technically the slaves work for that other company, sure we get the slaves to build our devices that we profit off of, but they're actually hired by someone else".
If they know about it and benefit from it it's their responsibility. If they have any reason to believe it might be true and don't do everything in their power to stop it, it's their responsibility.
Billionaire Apple shareholders simply chose increasing their wealth at the expense of poor people they took advantage of in developing countries. And this has to stop, and we have to stop saying it's acceptable.
Capitalism failed. It failed harder than any other experiment humans ever tried, and it and the wealth equality it creates has to be destroyed.
