Where to get 5.5 inch iPhone screenshots for submission

Hello, I'm new to iOS development and I'm trying to take some screenshots of my app to submit to the App Store. I'm running Ventura 13.0.1 and XCode 14.1. So far I've used these simulators to take screenshots:

6.5 inch - iPhone 11 Pro Max
6.7 inch - iPhone 14 Pro Max
12.9 inch - iPad Pro 6th gen

What I'm stuck on is getting the 5.5 inch screenshots, which are required for App Store submission. As far as I can tell from some online searching, the latest iPhone with that screen size was the 8 Plus. I've installed the oldest iOS simulator that XCode has listed (iOS 13.7), but it still won't let me run a simulator for the iPhone 8 Plus to get those screenshots. I don't have the physical device to take screenshots on. Does anyone know how to get the 5.5 inch screenshots without having to manually resize them?

About 1 week ago, I wanted to submit my App for review and I found this thread while trying to solve the impossible (5.5" screenshots of my app, which needs iOS 17+).

I decided to not fake these screenshots somehow, but created an image with Photoshop, consisting of a white background and the text "Devices with this screen resolution are not supported. Minimum requirement: iOS 17."

My App was rejected because of some other rules.

Yesterday I requested the App review again and guess what:

Screenshots of a 5.5" iPhone aren't required any more! I don't know, if Apple did a regular cleanup because of the iOS18 launch, or if my "screenshot" caused the removal, but finally they recognized, that it doesn't make sense to request screenshots of an antique device...
