Specific to XCode 9 1  You can refere to  Krunal s answer above or follow below steps  its bit tricky to adjust Simulator size   If you want to zoom your simulator screen follow below steps      Goto Window- gt Uncheck Show Device Bezels       Goto Window- gt select zoom     after doing this you can resize your simulator by dragging edges of simulator   Pixel Accurate   Its to display your simulator in same size as Physical device pixels  if your screen size doesn t have enough resolution to cover dimension it would not enable Pixel Accurate option    Alternate is change simulator to landscape mode by clicking        then you could click     2 to select Pixel Accurate option  make sure you have disable Show Device Bezels to reduce size

You are seeing it huge because of your screen resolution  iPhone 5 s display is 640x1136  Current resolution of your display can be found in System preferences  and it s height on notebooks is usually around 1000 px  give or take   So surely  the simulator in 1 1 scale will take all the height of the screen and even more    The iPhone simulator has three scales  100   75  and 50   You can change between them any time by pressing CMD 1  CMD 2  CMD 3 or from Window menu   Note that 100 -mode is very helpful for graphic checks  on full resolution you will be able to notice all defects or measure point size of the elements
