I think a lot of this comes down to awareness. If the end consumer is upset today about how the product is manufactured it might push a large corporation like apple to try to make a difference.

Take a look at nike. In the 90s it was a similar situation for their workers. Slave labor producing nike products and consumers noticed. They stood up and said no -- I won't buy nike products. Then nike was able to instate some change. http://www.businessinsider.com/how-nike-solved-its-sweatshop-problem-2013-5

Maybe there isn't an alternative right now when it comes to tech. Maybe the answer is people just need to get mad about what's going on and let companies know.
