Scale it to 100%. Clearly your simulator is being shown at less than 100% since because it won't fit on your computer's screen. – rmaddy Jan 16 '16 at 19:44

Thanks @rmaddy. But how to make it look normal then? I mean normal size. – Phelippe Jan 16 '16 at 19:47

As I said, scale it to 100%. Simulator -> Window -> Scale – rmaddy Jan 16 '16 at 19:48

@rmaddy I did. After which it has width and heigh of almost half the screen of iMac 27" – Phelippe Jan 16 '16 at 19:51

Right. Those are your two choices. 1) Nice and clear but too big to fit on the screen, or 2) Fuzzy but scaled small enough to see the whole thing. – rmaddy Jan 16 '16 at 20:19

My simulator was like those oldschool tv's that had grey screen with pixels everywhere, no idea why. This fixed it ... should be accepted answer – Bartando Sep 10 '17 at 16:12

Doesn't work since Xcode 8. We are now in Xcode 9.1, and the issue still persists. – nmdias Nov 01 '17 at 17:22
