iOS 7 Simulator showing screen but not phone

Installed Xcode 5 and compiled my app to use iOS 7. However when I run the simulator it only shows the screen of the phone and not the complete phone e.g. the phone body with the home button. Can continue developing my app but would like to understand where I am going wrong. Grateful for any help.

I think you guys need the iPhone frame to press the home button/close background tasks in simulator.

Use Cmd key+shift+H for Home button operation

Use Cmd Key+ shift+H(press H twice holding window and shift) Displays list of background tasks

I lost the iphone frame on the simulator after I plugged into a projector. After messing around with the display settings, I finally was able to restore the iphone frame:

Go to System Preferences -> display and set it to scaled, More Space. Now in your iOS simulator, set the scale to 100% (CMD+1).

Hope that works for you too.

The Retina Versions of the iOS Simulator iPhone does no longer have the iPhone frame, which is kind of sad.

The only way to have the frame back is to run the App in iOS 6.1 mode of the non-Retina iPhone. But I guess, that does not make much sense...

Are you using the latest XCode build?

In the first Beta-version of Xcode 5, the simulator use to not show the external iPhone frame.

In iOS Simulator, Go to Window -> Scale -> 100% or Command-1.

You can adjust the scale size as you wish using Command-2 for 75% and Command-3 for 50%
