What did Tim do that was good while he was CEO?

[davidg4781]

I'm seeing a lot of hate for Tim (there's a lot of love, too) and happy that he's leaving. He left Apple, Inc. in a great financial position from 15 years ago but I'm wondering if anyone has ideas of things that Apple has created under his leadership.

I have a few but I'm sure there are more out there since I mainly follow a couple of Apple lines.

• Cylinder Mac Pro
  • Lots of people hated this but this would have been an amazing form factor under Apple Silicon and look a lot nicer than the Mac Studio
• USB-C only in the MacBook Pro
  • It's the future and I'm glad Apple went all in but reversed course by adding SDXC and HDMI
• Apple Silicon
