No it would not be okay, factories used to pay their workers with coupons to be spent exclusively in company stores.

Agreed - but I think that would be an example of a contract under duress - the workers have no choice and the company can exploit them.

With iPhones I think we have a choice, and while it isn't ideal, we can vote with our wallets and support other institutions or companies.

But that's exactly like arguing the workers can just get another job.
