Here's a chart from BarCap showing what the technology sector looks like without Apple.

As you can see, tech sector earnings sans-Apple have actually been in decline since Spring 2011. Of course, you can never perfectly remove Apple, since Apple helps take earnings away from other companies, so presumably a fair number of their competitors would be more profitable if Apple ceased to exist.
