Looks like they spent a lot more than that on buybacks in the past decade:
> Since 2012, Apple has been buying back its own shares at an extraordinary rate -- Apple is known for spending more on share repurchases than similar tech giants like Meta or Alphabet. Apple's total share repurchases have totaled $274.5 billion, with just $20.4 billion in the December quarter.
> Apple spent $85.5 billion to repurchase shares in 2021, and issued $14.5 billion in dividends.
