7:34, it isn't a "really weird edge case", it is called thermal throttling, something that small computers like phones and thin and lights love doing. In this case, it means that the smaller phone has less heat dissipation (as seen using the thermal camera) and throttles down faster than the max, but eventually, they both will.

I own an iPad Mini 5, so having the iPhone 12 Mini works perfectly for everyday phone and light to moderate media consumption use. Having briefly owned the iPhone SE 2 and barely getting through the day on a charge with it; coupled with Apple touting the 12 Mini as having two more hours of battery life, I can confidently say this phone will last me through the day with a more comfortable margin of battery life left.
