XCode iPhone simulator does not look like an iPhone

Question

Silly question, but.. I am not been able to see the device appearance when running the iPhone simulator. I don't remember after which XCode update this started but the iPhone simulator shows only as a simple window without showing the device case like it used to be (see this image).

That's how my simulator looks like:

Is there a way to make it look like an actual iPhone 5?

EDIT: Unfortunately in my hardware->device options I see only iPhone retina (which is currently selected), but there are no more options. So it seems like the default beheaviour to look like a thin window, unless I missed out some other configuration.

Here is what I see overlayed to a user answer.

Answer 1

The Simulator window only shows an iPhone (4/4s) bezel when:

1. The simulated device is a 3.5 inch non-Retina iPhone, and

2. The window scale is 100%.

In Xcode 5, you can't do the first one unless you download the iOS 6.1 simulator, because 3.5 inch non-Retina devices are not supported by iOS 7.

(For simulated devices other than 3.5-inch non-Retina, you'll also see a bezel at 100% scale, but this bezel doesn't look exactly like any particular device.)

If you want device images to use in promotional artwork for your app, see Apple's App Store Marketing Resources page.

Answer 2

First of all this does with retina devices.

STEP 1: Follow this step if you using Xcode 5 as you need to download the iOS simulator.

Go to XCode,

• Open the main XCode Preferences option then Downloads. Click on iOS 6 Simulator Change to the simulator you want by going to the "Hardware" menu. Close the simulator. Run the project.

STEP 2:

As you required just change device from Hardware -> device to iPhone as shown in the image.

And in the next step be sure set the window scale to 100 %.
