You don't have Apple Intelligence on an iPhone 12 Mini. Apple intelligence can ONLY be on iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max, and newer iPhones. So Apple Intelligence didn't mess up the contact app in any way.


As to your power button issue, I'd try a Force Restart (different from a restart), but if this doesn't help, you may have a hardware issue with the power button, which would require service from Apple. Though at this point, given the age of an iPhone 12 Mini, wouldn't be a very good investment on an iPhone from 2020, six years ago.
