Apple Watch is an entirely Tim Cook creation. Apple Silicon, too.

Apple TV is the only non-scummy streaming box. It doesn't sell your viewing data to advertisers (though individual apps may).

Apple TV+ has the highest signal-to-noise ratio of any non-niche streaming service. I don't think there's a close second.

The latest HomePods and software iteration has made an appreciable positive difference in the quality of my life -- the intercom feature in particular is huge. This may not be unique to Apple, but it's well implemented.

You can kvetch about bugs, declining software quality, etc (we certainly did when Jobs was running the place) -- but "meaningful"? Apple is more meaningful to more people than ever before.

PA Semi was acquired before Tim Cook became CEO (2008). I wouldn't say Apple Silicon is entirely a Tim Cook creation. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Apple-s-M1-Pro-M1-Max-chips-ar...
