Summary:
Xcode 6 defaults to the iPhone 4S simulator, it should default to latest iPhone model that's available. I can imagine that new users may get confused ad start designing their app for the 4S's 3.5 inch screen screen instead of the larger screen in modern iPhones.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Xcode 6 for the first time on a new mac
2. Launch Xcode
3. Start a new iOS project

Expected Results:
The target device should be the most modern iOS simulator

Actual Results:
The target device is iPhone 4S

Version:
Version 6.0 (6A215l)
