Simulator does not show me iPhone5 real size?

Question

I am trying on xcode to run our app on the simulator and check the screen height. I am using cocos2d, but i also have tried apple methods .

     NSLog(@"HEIGT:%f",[UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.height);

      //and also :
     winSize = [[CCDirector sharedDirector] winSize];
     NSLog(@"HEIGT:%f",winSize.Height);

both gives me height of 480 on the iPhone5 4 inch simulation . Why is that ? and how can i know if this is actually iPhone5 ?
