If you buy the boxes from an Apple store, or from an approved distributor, Apple is at fault. What's the meaning of "approved"?

If you buy them from the back of a truck, then no, Apple has no fault of course.

But there's a declaration saying "we had nothing to do with the pagers even though they have our brand". That's different from saying "they were booby-trapped after they left our hands". Not even the company itself is claiming the defense you're using.
