After all, the market seems to already have given up on the fact that Apple is still a great growth story.

what about the possible tax ramifications with a dividend? If top rate goes to 43% this means 43% of the divs paid to those in highest bracket would go to govt, not shareholders. Buyback makes more sense based on tax reasons.
