Can't add an iOS 9.3 iPad Pro (9.7-inch) simulator in Xcode 8

I recently downloaded the Xcode 8 beta and as I was adding iOS 10 simulators, I noticed I didn't have a simulator (9.3 or 10.0) for the 9.7-inch iPad Pro. I added the iOS 10 simulator, but when I tried to add a 9.3 simulator, I saw that that wasn't an option for the iPad Pro (9.7-inch; the 12.9-inch works fine).

enter image description here

Is this intended, or is it a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance!

There's no functional difference between the iPad Pro 9.7" in the iOS 9.3 Simulator and the iPad Air 2 in the iOS 9.3 Simulator. The differences only manifest (in the simulator) in iOS 10. Thus, there was no reason to add it for iOS 9.3 (and Xcode 7.3).
