I'm NOT condoning the behavior. This is disgusting. Still, "the supplier would (within a few hours) stop using child labour" is completely unrealistic.
Apple should have cut ties immediately even if it meant a breach of contract or shortage of inventory.

I'm also betting their hit to profits will be less even after this revelation, than if they cut ties with the supplier and run short on inventory. I wouldn't be surprised if that cold calculation came into play as well.
