Jobs-level successes for Cook? Let's see:

Airpods—the entire range.
Apple Watch. (Not huge, just the world's highest-grossing luxury watch brand.)
Apple's migration to M-series CPUs (a post-Jobs move).

These are all smaller-scale than Jobs' successes, but each gross in the billions of dollars/year—comparable to Jobs' huge successes from the late 90s to late 2000s.

Apple is so vast these days it's impossible to debut a new product that increases their revenue by 100%/year.
