Where does the iOS Simulator save screen shots?

I can't find iOS simulator screenshots (supposedly created using cmd+S) since updating to Xcode 4.3 (running on 10.7.3 Lion).

They aren't in ~Library/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Screenshots.

Presumably they moved when Xcode moved from Developer, but Spotlight can't tell me where they are either.

For Xamarin developers using remote MAC pairing from windows, the screenshots are located in Pictures > Xamarin > iOS Simulator directory.

iOS Simulator screen shots are saved to your desktop (~/Desktop). The file names are of the form iOS Simulator Screen shot Feb 28, 2012 12.16.23 PM.png.

You can also choose Edit > Copy Screen (default shortcut: ⌃⌘C) to copy the screen shot directly to your clipboard.

For newcomers, let's just use Xcode "Debug" option in the Menu:

Debug -> View Debugging -> Take screenshot of yourPhoneName

(see image below)

The screenshots are saved on the Desktop. I tried only for phone connected to my computer, but it should work also on simulators.

On iOS 9.3, the screen shots are called Simulator Screen Shot <timestamp>.png and are still located in ~/Desktop.

Press Command+S. The screen shot will be saved on your desktop.
