  • It just mirroring the button like on real device, you can click any of those , for example the button on top right is for locking/unlocking the device and other button are for volume up/down. – Shabir jan Jun 07 '17 at 11:36

  • Well, using the help provided, i.e. the Release Notes for beta 3, I assume that those buttons did not work in previous beta releases. In the section "Resolved in Xcode 9 beta 3", it says "The bezel ringer switch and volume buttons now control the simulated device’s volume and mute status (32118310, 32117708, 32118558)", so I assume they did not work previously. – NerdyTherapist Jul 11 '17 at 20:50
