They have much larger screens. I'm vision impaired, so any chance I get a larger screen I'll take it.
that exists a laptop or tablet why make a huge phone
These are all different options on the sliding scale of portability vs usability/screen size. Folding phones lie between a slab phone and tablets on this scale. I'd say slab phones > folding phones > tablets > laptops > desktops etc... You also of course have further subdivisions such as the iPad mini vs the iPad.
This is like the people saying, at the launch of the iPad, that tablets would fail because laptops exist.
Yup. I get that. Always a niche and people buy unnecessary products. I still don't get tablets at all. Wouldn't buy one. See no reason for their continued existence. I'm wrong. Like most things people baffle me.
Tablet is a larger screen. That's it. It's an inferior laptop and inferior phone. Only use I could think of would again be game or watch films. However once again a tv fulfils that role by a country mile.
Only reason would be as you said portability, however in that sense I'd expect most adults would require a laptop for work and so would be able to dual purpose that.
If you didn't have a laptop and had to travel frequently then tablet would be a cheaper alternative.
