Why the emulator is so big even with iphone 5 emulator selected?

Hi!, when following the steps for the video I've disabled the "size classes" and on the storyboard the screen looks like an iphone 5 (exactly as the video) but when I run the emulator (with iphone 5 selected) the emulator screen is twice as big as in the video. I'm developing in a macbook pro retina but I've tried this in a mac mini with exactly the same behaviour.

Does someone has the same problem?

Thank you!

You can change the simulator size with the following shortcuts:

  • <kbd>āŒ˜</kbd>+<kbd>1</kbd> = 100%
  • <kbd>āŒ˜</kbd>+<kbd>2</kbd> = 75%
  • <kbd>āŒ˜</kbd>+<kbd>3</kbd> = 50%

Hope that helps :)
