The latest iOS on which I worked was ios 4.3. However continuing with iOS development now, on switching to iOS 6 I found a lot of different features. One interesting and confusing feature is the new look of iphone simulator. It has a new shape and does not have home button. I was looking at this link and learnt that this was true for devices after iPhone 4 including it.
My question is, why is home button absent for new iphone simulators not considering that former would appear after scaling the latter.
To launch a Simulator without running an appChoose Xcode > Open Developer Tool > Simulator. Control-click the Xcode icon in the Dock, and from the shortcut menu, choose Open Developer Tool > Simulator.
The basic way to open a list of simulators is to use Xcode -> Window -> Devices and Simulators. Here you can create and manage all available simulators.
there is a option of Home button
1) it gives shortcut for Home button = cmd + Shift + H
2) it gives three size of simulator = (cmd+1, cmd+2 and cmd+3)
you can switch size of ios simulator (cmd+1, cmd+2 and cmd+3)
It also depends on your screen resolution. On my MBP Retina it displays the frame for all the device, on my external monitor (1600 x 1200) it fails to show the frame for all the Retina simulated devices.
