Help me if I'm not getting this right.
I peeked at the conference materials and found that they expect to pay out 0.9B in dividends in 2013.
With a 1.01B float, that's 89 cents per share.
The current divi is 85 cents so the increase should be 4.7%.
The share buyback is about 5.5% of the market cap.
It seems like people should be using their iPhones to buy this stock.
