This is something I've been wondering about for a while in regards to Apple. Like you said, the iPhone was truly revolutionary. It was the best phone on the market by a very large margin. The iPad was also significantly better than the competition when it first came out (mostly due to Apple's iron fist approach to app developers).
These days the only product Apples makes that is significantly better than the competition is the MBP, and even that gap is slowly disappearing. The iPhone is not significantly better than the top Android phones. Microsoft has leapfrogged Apple in the tablet space. The Apple Watch was anything but revolutionary. Their desktops have never been better than the competition. Apple TV doesn't offer much compared to the competition. Their recent service offerings (e.g. Apple Music) haven't been better than the competition.
I can't remember the last time Apple released something that was clearly better than anything else on the market. That used to be routine for Apple. I don't know if it's due to Apple getting worse or everyone else getting better, but it's interesting to note.
