Yes, you can test on your iPhone 6 or another device. Apple has some documentation explaining it.

You can also download more devices and OS versions for the simulator if you want. At the top of your Xcode window, where it displays the name of the current simulator device, click the device name and you'll get a pulldown menu with options to get more devices/OS versions.

It looks as if the listed test devices are there more for testing screen sizes than anything else.
