A 2,227 mAh battery will likely only last a few hours of normal use.  The mini is a nice size, but I could never deal with that small capacity battery.  I guess it could be good for some people, but with an A14 Bionic, they'd want to use it a lot and the battery will just poop out halfway through the day.  That's just crazy.  I would only be satisfied with the iPhone 12 Pro Max simply because that is the largest capacity battery available.

Smaller screen also equals lower power consumption, other things being equal.

A little early for you to be making assumptions about battery run time, much less about other people's device usage patterns.

Bingo.

Also, MagSafe with its 15W charging rate is going to be a game changer. Someone is going to make a battery pack that I can slap on my iPhone mini to recharge it quickly when it gets low on juice. That’s why I’m not worried about the mini’s small battery capacity.
