I think this is misunderstood.
As far as I know this was meant, that all profit that Apple will make from now on, it will be returned to the shareholders.
So the cash reserves wont rise anymore, but will stay the same, not going to 0.
In $135 billion they have enough cash for now for all M&A, R&D, etc. for the foreseeable future.
