Capturing iPhone or iPad screen shots.

I searched for a long time for how to take an iPhone 4 sized screen shot using an old 3G iPhone or Xcode.  There are lots of very old stories floating around the internet from before the iPhone simulator had this facility. You dont need extra software or stitching ordinary screen captures together.  No, you can capture screens from the iPhone simulator using control-command-C.

Simple as that!

Now open Preview, select "New from clipboard" and save the result as a PNG.
