Foldable phones seem to be the future. And they are basically just better, more convenient tablets.
They already lost some space when phones got more powerful, then when laptops allowed touchscreen and "tablet" mode.
Basically we're seeing the beginning ot the end.
What will happen to tablets?

Don't see the point of either, honestly. Phone for doing shit quickly on the go, laptop/tower for productivity. Tablets don't have the convenience of phones, nor do they have the ease of productivity of a laptop unless you're gonna pack shit like a mouse/keyboard in with it (at which point, just get a laptop).

Tabs are going to have lower processor speeds than phones and will be used for hands-free smarthome and AI assistant shenanigans for housewives to watch youtube/weather channel or order shit while in the kitchen

Good.
Tablets are useless. Always have been.
They're basically "laptops without keyboards", whose only real use is that you can hold it as a flat surface in the same way you might hold a notebook or board, which offers some "comfort-oriented" usage, but means that tablets are useless outside of very tiny usecases, and two-in-one laptops have basically gobbled up what little there was of that niche, thanks to the fact that they're actually useful, and not just something you give to your kids to break.
Foldable phones?
The only "problem" they solve is that sometimes you want a bigger screen on a device you can still fit in your pocket. It has potentially huge market potential, but I doubt consumers will want to buy something that'll come out to be so much more expensive, for a gimmick-y feature like that.
Then again, the smartphone market is run on gimmicks, so can't be sure whether or not this will catch on.
But tablets are on their way out anyways.

I think foldable phones are another good step to making most standalone computers useless. Imagine, when folded out and connected to a display, the screen could turn into a keyboard + touchpad. Not /comfy/ but manageable for most casual users IMO.

Tablets are basically already becoming fixed devices. You mount one on your wall to control devices in your house.

The correct question is what will happen to laptops?
Laptops are slowly turning into tablets.
