You're right, and it doesn't absolve Apple, and Apple knows that. Which is why Apple does what it can to ameliorate those kinds of labor issues. Those efforts aren't perfect, but Apple gives it a shot, at least. Apple isn't in a position to tell Wistron or Foxconn or anyone else exactly how to run their business. All Apple can do is measures like putting a supplier on probation until issues are addressed (like with Wistron lately), or (limited) wage demands, or threats to choose another supplier next time. But there are a very limited number of suppliers that can realistically fill demand, and none of them are paying $40/hour and building charter schools and condos for employees.
