Buybacks and dividends are always a good idea.

Companies should always do them, it puts the ball back into shareholders court. If Apple ever needs to shore up its supply chain they can do an equity raise by issuing stock, then shareholders can decide if they want to partake in it or not.

Shareholders should receive their capital back at regular intervals because the CEO can ask it back again.
