I am sure the brokers who arrange the buy backs love them - all that nice $

Personally id rather have the dividend myself - that's real cash in my account not some vague if we spend x billion the share price might go up.

They did that too.

>Apple said Tuesday it has returned $275 billion in total capital to shareholders since 2012. ... Apple said it would be increasing dividends 16 percent to 73 cents per share.

The lead in that article is "plan to return $100 billion to shareholders in a massive stock buyback,"

Id rather have my share of that $100 Billion that as a special dividend - than some woo woo share buyback.
