To start with, I'm not a fan of Apple products. I don't like the way I work (or play) being dictated, and I don't like the limitations imposed on me by the products or their ecosystem, no matter how easy it's supposed to make it.
That said: because of Jobs's vision and products, the products I do like have been influenced for the better, in terms of features, look and feel, and time to market. He forced competitors to innovate, or to package their products better, or to include features that would not otherwise have been there.
