Apple Watch and Air Pods are two examples of innovative and compelling products introduced since Jobs left. Cook notes today how well they are selling, and that's after reporting in July that trailing 4Q revenue topped $10 billion on 60% growth--which is more revenue than iPods did over any 4 quarter span, BTW.
Usually when people complain that Apple hasn't delivered a great product since Jobs left, they are comparing to the iPhone. But it's important to remember that Jobs himself only delivered a product like the iPhone once! No other Apple product line, no Macs, no iPods, no iPad, nothing, ever came close to the impact of the iPhone.
If the iPhone is your bar of success for a new Apple product, I feel pretty confident that you're going to be disappointed. But Apple doesn't need another iPhone to grow very well for a long time.
