Multipurpose tablets have already started to disappear. You go from large phone to convertible laptop. And most of those are no longer detachable -- their keyboards fold back.

Tablets are in great abundance here in Peru! In fact, they're all over the place. But then, so are cell phones. (My brother-in-law has about 6 cell phones, each one for a specific business. It's quite normal for many Peruvians to have more than one; in fact, my wife has two: one for home use and one for business.)

Concerning tablets, it may be different in my country (USA) - about tablets disappearing, that is - but I haven't been home since Christmas of 2016.

I think I read somewhere that purchases of larger-sized cell phones have declined. I may be wrong, however.
