With its newest releases of iPad models in 2014, Apple has received mixed reviews for two different iPad models launched, the iPad Air 2 and the iPad Mini 3. While the iPad Air 2 is the more talked about tablet, the iPad Mini 3 has received a rather lukewarm response. Even during the launch, Apple primarily focused on the newer Air model. The new Mini model was announced only as a footnote towards the end of the event.

When the first iPad Mini had made its launch, it didn’t stir up too many heads as it resembled the earlier iPad 2 with just the screen size being made smaller. However, Apple made a big bounce back with the iPad Mini 2, which proved to be much more powerful than other iPad models. It was considered to be one of the best tablets in the market in 2013.

However, it seems that Apple has gone backwards with the iPad Mini 3 launched in 2014. The Mini 3 is not slimmer than the Mini2, contrary to what one would expect. It is 7.5mm thick and weighs 331g and this is exactly the same as the prior model. On a closer look at the design, it can be seen that none of the features have been changed from the Mini 2. It features the same A7 processor chip, has the same ceramic body with curved and chamfered edges, the same 7.9 inch display and even the screen resolution is unchanged.

The only distinct feature of the Mini 3 is the inclusion of the Apple Touch ID sensor. Other than that, the Mini 3 is available in a gold finish and in storage capacities of 16 GB, 64 GB and 128 GB. That is about it and the rest of the features are exactly the same as the Mini 2. The sensor can be used to easily unlock the device and also to make purchases off of the App store using the Apple Pay feature. While the touch sensor seems to be a decent feature, the Mini 3 fails to impress and seems to be just the same as using a Mini 2.

Apple seems to reckon that securing their tablets is a top priority for the modern day users. Banking on this fact, the Mini 3 has a huge premium in price than the Mini 2 and costs $100 more. Actually, you can save even more by browsing through the current iPad mini 2 deals. On a good day, you should be able to find a 2014 iPad mini for around $250 even as of March 2015.

The verdict about the new iPad Mini 3 is simple. While it is a decent tablet with good features, one can make do with the Mini 2, which costs much cheaper. While it is a good idea to have added security and the Apple Pay features, users must remember that pay services have not yet been rolled out completely.

For more than a hundred years metal has been one of the most popular choices when it comes to roofing and in the last several years demand for it has increased even more. How come? Well, metal has a lot of benefits compared to other materials, such as lower costs, superior durability, energy efficiency and more as we're going to see in the paragraphs below.

Superior energy efficiency

One of the main reasons why people consider getting a metal roof is due to the fact that it has superior energy efficiency, the thin material thickness of this type of roof coupled with its ribbed shape allow heat to dissipate much easier compared to other types of roofing materials. No matter if those who choose to install it live in areas where there's a lot of heat in the daytime, once the sun sets, these roofs can easily cool off. As a result, people won't need to worry about turning their AC on for the entire night.

Cost

In terms of cost, metal roofing is quite affordable, but since there are many roofers in bristol and the south west, it's always recommended that people get in touch with a few of them in order to get an idea of the market price. However, when compared to roofs made of wood, asphalt shingles clay tiles and so forth, metal roofs are much more affordable and have a lot more benefits. As for the size, most panels measure 1200 by 600 mm, so they are quite big and therefore can be easily installed in much less time than it would take for other types of roofs.

Durability

It goes without saying that a metal roof is extremely durable ad that is due to the fact that it's made from strong steel which can easily withstand any type of damage and the caprices of weather better than any other type of roof out there. Because of that, they won't need to be replaced until 30 to fifty years later, so one could easily say they last almost a lifetime. Maintenance, when required, is minimal, but generally they won't need to be maintained, making them the perfect choice.

Styles

Last but not least, a metal roof can be easily made in a wide range of designs and can be constructed form copper, aluminum or steel. As a result, people can choose from a wide range of designs or even go for accustom design.
