Is there an iPhone SE simulator for Xcode 11, iOS 13?

I'm running Xcode 11.0 on macOS Mojave (10.14.6) and though the iPhone SE is officially supported on iOS 13, it doesn't appear in the list of simulators.
It can't be added nor downloaded, as far as I can see. Any ideas?
Xcode 11 doesn't automatically add every possible simulator. But you can add an iPhone SE iOS 13 simulator.
In Xcode, click on the Window menu and select Devices and Simulators. Select the Simulators tab. Tap the + in the bottom-left corner. Give the new simulator a name. Select iPhone SE as the device type. Enter iOS 13 as the OS Version.
Now you have what you need.
Edit: This is still valid with XCode 12.3 and iOS 14.3 as of January 2020
Also can be useful. The problem may be in your project preferences. If downloading simulators didn't work, try this. Open you project in Xcode -> Choose your project on the Navigator which is on the left side
Navigator
Then in the Deployment Info in target tab choose IOS version for your project (choose 10 or 11 for all simulator displaying)

iPhone 4s in Xcode 9.1 with iOS 9 as deployment target

I'm working on a new project having iOS 9 as deployment target in Xcode 9.1. In the simulator I have the iPhone 4s but its iOS version is not displayed. I searched about the support of iOS 9 in this iPhone and I found some answers saying that the iPhone 4s is supporting the iOS 9 and others saying the opposite so I'm confused. At this date, is iOS 9 supported on iPhone 4s?
Yes, iOS 9 is supported on iPhone 4S. but iOS 10 is not supported. Last supported is iOS 9.3.5
You can see the Simulator and iOS in XCode, Window > Devices and Simulator or Cmd+Shift+2.
In the Simulator Tab, you can see the list of simulators. Normally by defaults, iPhone 4S Simulator is installed with iOS 8.1.
If you need to see more iPhone 4S with iOS 9.3 e.g. you can press the '+' on the left below to add more simulators. And check on the 'Show as run destination' to run the app on this simulator in XCode.
If you do not have iOS 9.3 simulator, you can choose the option to download more simulator or do it from XCode > Preferences > Components

Xcode 8.3 and min deployment target iOS 7

Correct me if I'm wrong but the only way to test if app supports iOS7 is to have real device with this system (i.e iPhone 4). On macOS Sierra developer is not able to run iOS 7 simulator.
To see the available simulators, go Xcode -> Window -> Devices -> click on + on the bottom left -> Add Simulator -> Choose OS Version
Here is the list of available simulators in Xcode 8.3.1:
8.1 is the earliest you can download.

iOS 6 and 7 simulators in Xcode 7

How to have old simulators in new Xcode?
I have 2 SDKs (6.1 and 7.1) in my old Xcode 5.1.1 following path:
Xcode.app -> right click and <Show package contents> ->
Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/
Copied both SDKs to my new Xcode, but Xcode only shows 8.4 and 9.0.
Is there any suggestion? Or maybe I can download it from somewhere (I believe there isn't)?
In Xcode if you click Window->Devices, then on the bottom left click the '+' button, then Add Simulator. There should be an option for selecting older versions of iOS Simulators.
If there isn't an option for iOS 6.1 or 7.1, after you click the '+' button, click the drop-down list for iOS Version and click download more simulators. Then just pick which ones you want.
You can't use simulator for iOS7 and earlier for XCode 7.1 - it's not compatible. Looks like Apple won't support them ever. It means you can't do this on simulator (you still can do this on real devices) at least in official way. You may not know that, but it also depends on your OSX:
El Capitan supports iOS 8.1.
Yosemite supports iOS 7.1
I haven't found any way to use any iOS 7 simulators. However, an iPhone 4 running iOS7 connected to Xcode 7.3, on MacOS X 10.11.4 using the iOS 9 SDK runs just fine.
To support iOS 7 on all devices capable of running it, you will need LaunchImages for iPhone 4 and 5 (retina), and for iPad in portrait and landscape at 1x and 2x.
I would consider supporting iOS 6 at this point to be pointless. That's iPhone 3GS. iOS 7 is pushing it; I run my code on an iPhone 4 mostly to check that its fast enough.

Choose a different simulator in Xcode 6

How to choose a different simulator(other than iOS 8) in Xcode 6?. I have successfully installed the iOS 7 simulator from Xcode->Preference->Downloads
But it is not listing in the available simulators for running
Any one know how can i install iOS7 simulator in Xcode 6?
Once installed iOS 7 simulator, in Xcode 6 go Window > Devices, click on bottom left corner + button and add iOS 7 simulator. Then you can choose it in your Archive Scheme.
Also make sure your deployment target is set to at least <= 7.0 or else you'll only see the iOS 8 simulators
