And the fact is, Apple wouldn't really need to do that. I mean, how often have you seen scenes where the character was clearly using am iMac but the Apple logo was covered by a post-it or something? In those cases, Apple is clearly not paying to have their merch being used and the show clearly didn't get approval to "officially" use the Apple logo which is why they had to cover it. But, in the end, it is still clear that this thing they use is an iMac.
