Unable to detect iPhone Retina 4-inch screen size in simulator

I want to make my iOS application support iPhone 5. So I created a separate xib set for iPhone 5 size. Then I load each xib by checking the screen height.

This is the splash screen loading code inside the AppDelegate.m:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:    (NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    self.window = [[[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]] autorelease];
    // Override point for customization after application launch.
    UIViewController *viewController1;
    if ([UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.height==480) {
        viewController1 = [[SplashScreen alloc] initWithNibName:@"SplashScreen" bundle:nil];
    }


    if ([UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.height==568) {
        viewController1 = [[SplashScreen alloc] initWithNibName:@"SplashScreen5" bundle:nil];
    }

    self.window.rootViewController = viewController1;
    [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
    return YES;
}

But when I change the simulator into Retina 4-inch, my code doesn't get the emulator size. It always executes the 480 if condition.

But other apps I created like this are working properly.
What is the reason for this?

I'm having the exact same problem right now (at the worst moment, of course....). It did work properly for several weeks, and for a unknown reason, the simulator suddenly considers the 4in simulated device as a 3.5in screen. cleaning, reset, reboot : same situation...

EDIT : ok, problem solved. T'was because of a missing Default image in the -568@2x format. I knew that was a condition to make the system work, but xcode had apparently decided to get rid off the one I chose. oh well...
