iOS 6 simulator doesn't look like iPhone

My iOS iPhone simulator quit looking like an iPhone for some reason. Now it looks more like an iPad. Just yesterday it looked like an iPhone4/5 depending on my device selection.

Here is an example of the odd look: http://cl.ly/KUZ2 enter image description here

Anyone know how to get it to look like an iPhone again? I want this for capturing demo shots.

Thanks

I have observed that the simulator will show this view if it is launched on a non-Retina screen. If I run the same app & same simulator on a retina screen, it will show the actual iPhone 4/5 frame.

If you do not have a Retina MBP, you might try enabling HiDPI mode on your Mac and then restarting the simulator. But I don't know for sure if this will work. See: How to simulate a retina display (HiDPI mode) on a non-retina display?
