Reduce the size of the iPhone Simulator window?
You should try cmd 2 or cmd 3 on your keyboard to scale down.
And cmd 1 to get back to the original scale.
You can scale iOS simulator to desire scale (i tried from 0.2 to 1.4 ) and it worked for me.
To do this you have to go to /Library/Preferences and edit com.apple.iphonesimulator.plist
file. Edit value of KEY SimulatorWindowLastScale
to your desired scale.
I tried this on latest Version of Mountain Lion 10.8.4 & iOS simulator 6.0.
Enjoy!!!! Let me know if it worked for you guys.

Update
This is no longer the correct answer.
Unfortunately no, it must maintain that size. We had the same issue. I wish I could give you a more complete answer, however it seems reasonable for the accurate rendering profiling that it maintains 1-to-1 pixel ratio, otherwise it would have to sub-sample the pixels, causing the profiling to be incorrect.
