Since iOS 8 was released the default device type for simulator became iPhone 6. And even if I manually change the device type using Hardware > Device menu, on the next launch (using rake simulator) the simulator will revert to iPhone 6.
I wonder if there is any rake options, or some other settings to force the device type.
PS. I know that there are ways to force a non-retina iPhone and a way to launch the iPad simulator instead of the iPhone one, but I'm interested in selecting between 5/6/6+.
Thanks
Run /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/simctl list (or /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/usr/bin/simctl list for older versions of Xcode.

if you want run iPhone 5s as IOS 7.1 (You must set app.deployment_target = '7.1'),you can do it like
