the following things have occurred under Cooks tenure:
- Apple Watch
- AirPods
- Apple Pencil
- Apple Music
- HomePod
- ARKit
Each of those represent entirely new product categories, have captured the majority of a pre-existing market, or have opened up entirely new use cases for previously existing products.
I agree with you that an Apple without Tim Cook would be in trouble indeed. However, I think that Cook's record indicates that he is truly leading the company in the same way Jobs did: a focus on truly personal, well-designed products.
I hope the "Cook is Ballmer" trope will quickly die.
