I can't think of any companies that were more product-focused than Steve Jobs' Apple. They created so much value across so many industries. They created so many transformational products.
Their machines in the 1980s revolutionized personal computing (eg they brought GUIs and the mouse to the world).
The iPod let us carry thousands of songs, audiobooks, or podcasts in our pocket.
iTunes changed the music industry, giving us an easy way to get the music we wanted without piracy.
The iPhone put the Internet in every pocket.
Honorable tangential mention: Pixar transformed kids movies and dethroned Disney.
Apple made a ton of money making products that were delightful to use that users happily pay a massive premium for. They made things that were so much more than the sum of their parts.
