Testing iPhone 5 (4") apps on iPad 3

Question

I was hoping to be able to test iPhone 5 (4") apps on the iPad 3 in its emulator mode.

To indicate it's an iPhone 5 app I've added the Default-568h@2x.png launch image and in the simulator it works as expected.

When I try to run it on the iPad however only the 3.5" version is shown in its iPhone emulator.

Does the iPad not yet support the 4" mode or do I need to enable something else? (iOS 6 GM seed)

Any movement on this with iOS7? – dacopenhagen Jun 26 '13 at 18:21 — dacopenhagen, Jun 26 '13 at 18:21

Apparently the iPad can't support the 4" iPhone mode because the display would be too small for 2x (zoomed).
