Xcode 6.3 doesn't show simulator of connected device version

I have a strange problem. I have an iPhone 6 which is on iOS 8.3 and I'm using Xcode 6.3. When my iPhone is not connected to Xcode, I can select the iPhone 6 simulator alright but when my device is connected, iPhone 6 disappears from the list. I wasn't able to test this with other devices since I only have an iPhone 6. Does this happen to everyone or is it just me? Is there a way to use the iPhone 6 simulator when my iPhone 6 is connected to the computer? Screenshots are below.

when connected:

when not connected:

Any help is much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Have you deleted the whole Xcode app and install it again? (it sounds weird) - CAN
No, and honestly, seems a bit overkill. I would appreciate an easier solution. Doesn't this happen to everyone? - akaralar
It won't make a difference anyway. Wiping out ~/Library/Developer and/or ~/Library/Application Support/Developer will have an effect, as that's where Xcode stores stuff. However it looks like a bug to me, but a small one, given you know the solution if you want to use the iPhone 6 Simulator. - trojanfoe
The thing is I can not use the iPhone 6 simulator when I'm charging my phone, which is a bit annoying at times - akaralar
It is not a solution as it drains during the day. - akaralar

The problem vanished when I installed all the available simulators from Preferences > Downloads
