Why is iPhone not available in Hardware -> Device

Question

On my simulator under Hardware -> Device I only see iPhone Retina but not iPhone alone.

Is there a reason for this? am I missing iPhone?

Answer 1

If your project's Deployment Target is iOS 7.0 or later then that is why you don't see non-retina iPhone choices.

• iOS 7 doesn't run on any non-retina iPhones or iPod Touches
• iOS 7 does run on the iPad 2 and the non-retina iPad minis, which is why you do see the iPad option
