Both markets are still falling, with PCs apparently reaching a stability point. But it's a pretty poor comparison since tablets were killed by 5'+ smartphones.
Tablets appeared in a time that smartphones had 3.5 to 4' screens. After some time, phones with 5' start to rise and people decided that the compromise of having a slightly smaller screen and a huge phone was better than carrying 2 different devices.
But it is not like people will stop buying PCs altogether. The crowd that only did basic browsing jumped to phones. Right now, the remaining users are the ones that have to create content, develop or simply write a lot of stuff on Office suites. If smartphones manage to do this work (maybe a dock like the S8), then we can see a sharp decrease on PCs again. Otherwise, things will stabilize.
