Appreciate the tips, will try to experiment and report back on the findings.

is it still the case for iOS 27?

Thanks for the answer! I did submit both issues the same day to the Feedback Assistant. FB21204812

I think I made a mistake when mentioning the iOS beta 5, instead it should be Tahoe, my bad. I am running it on the simulator in the latest a Tahoe beta.

Yeah, it’s definitely a bit of a bummer. Apple Intelligence being restricted to M-series iPhones and iPads—and not working in simulators—makes development and testing much harder unless you have the exact hardware. Even though a lot of devs have M-series Macs, it’s not the same as having a device that runs it natively.
