The storyboard preview is of some tablet device, I need to change this to the latest iphone or iphone 4s, how can I do this? Also I know about the assistant editor and how to preview on multiple devices using the assistant editor, thats not what I want, I want to change the preview in the story board itself

It's size classes enabled storyboard 600x600 pixel output. It's not tablet. – Undesigned
Disable size class give u iphone or ipad size, but if u'r design for both then change the w Any h Any below storyboard. For preview then open assistant editor , click manual or automatic then choose preview -> your storyboard – Margret
its called size not preview. Your question is not clear with your actul need be more clear – Bidden
@NitinGohel My question is clear to the best of my knowledge, I do not know the proper jargons, I don't have a teacher, I'm learning by myself, I thought stackoverflow was here to help remove ignorances about topics, If i had known you Xcode called them sizes and not previews (which is very misleading for a first time user) I wouldn't be asking this question now would I? – Wilkes
i just telling you what does it called to be. nothings else lol – Bidden

hmm I already know this, I mentioned it in the question that I don't want to see the assistant editor previews – Wilkes
Is it still valid on XCode 14? I'm having hard time finding it. – Hackneyed

In Xcode 9.2, simply go to your Storyboard and go to the bottom, Click View As and choose a device you like. enter image description here
