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
