I disagree, well technically I agree that having money shouldn't equate guilt - but Apple makes a lot of money and chose to make some more money by partnering with a supplier that was using child labour. They didn't start that partnership with that understanding but they did continue it and they certainly have the means to drop that supplier in favor of a supplier that didn't use child labour... changing suppliers is expensive in terms of having a steady supply line and in terms of having a cheap supply line - delaying dropping them for a month or two while you line up some alternate manufacturer because of up-stream dependencies is probably acceptable but they had the money to fix this pretty quickly - certainly more quickly than three years down the road.
