Who has the details of this strategic relationship?

Remember Apple's infamous $200 billion cash-pile during the peak iPhone era of 2010-2016? How much of it went to TSMC?

They are currently just under $50 billion and have bought back $130 billion+ in shares since 2018 I would most if not all of their reserves went into buybacks.
