The iPhone SE has only just been released; after Xcode 7.3. Also what would the iPhone SE simulator give you that the iPhone 5S Simulator would not? – trojanfoe Apr 05 '16 at 08:15

4@trojanfoe for the same reason that there's a 5 & 5s, a 6 and 6s. I presume there are different APIs available. I'm not an expert in underlying simulator architecture but if there's a new device out, seems like I should test against it. I expected that Apple would make it available for download through Xcode 7.3 or bundle it with an updated version of Xcode. – santeko May 03 '16 at 21:36

To add to @skotturi, I have a user in an app experiencing a bug that is only happening in his SE. Is it not conceivable that a different device could have different behavior? heh – Ezekiel Victor Aug 16 '16 at 20:42

The beta version of Xcode 8 has iPhone SE simulators:
Why they didn't come out when the phone was released, I'm not sure. Maybe a spring release of a new iPhone doesn't correspond with Xcode release cycles.
