Unlikely.
Apples volume today was 52,649,132 which times share price is 188$ => 9.8 Billion.
Netflix's market cap is 212.41 billion so if Apple tried to print enough shares to cover the acquisition cost they'd tank their share price to 0.

And if they did print more shares, how would it "tank their share price to 0"? It's not like a stupid acquisition would instantly vaporize a 2+ trillion market cap company overnight.
Apple has $162 billion in cash on hand.
They could acquire Netflix if they wanted (they don’t want to).
Much more likely they buy Pixar off Disney or something.
