Xcode 9 simulator looks terrible

Question

It's extremely pixelated, aliasing is terrible, see below, yuck!

I'm running on Sierra, 2015 rMBP, external Apple Display.

Is there a way to fix it? Without success, I've tried:

The 100% sizing in Xcode 9 has a bug where it considers 3x devices to be 2x for scaling. Manually resize the device larger and it should clear up.

I took "manually resize" to mean grab a corner and pull to make it bigger. That worked. _Still!_ – Clay Bridges Oct 06 '17 at 14:52

@russbishop can you provide a link to a bug tracker? I'm having issues with a particular simulator device only. iPhone 8 iOS 12.1 . – vdidxho Dec 24 '18 at 04:52
Use https://bugreport.apple.com. It is usually helpful if you include the bug report number (radar number) in your reply so I can look it up directly. – russbishop Dec 30 '18 at 05:08
