You can search for just the booted devices and get the iOS version (different from @TiBooX's answer which just shows the active devices). You also don't need to use grep, you can just use the built in functionality of xcrun:

$ xcrun simctl list 'devices' 'booted'

Which will print out something like:

== Devices ==
-- iOS 10.3 --
-- iOS 11.4 --
-- iOS 12.4 --
-- iOS 13.4 --
    iPhone 11 Pro (A5DEEA78-1E82-472E-B7CC-FFD27741CDA2) (Booted)
-- tvOS 13.4 --
-- watchOS 6.2 --

I would recommend adding the following alias to your .bashrc or .zshrc:

# Get the active simulator with
alias active-sims="xcrun simctl list 'devices' 'booted'"

This way you can just run active-sims without remembering the entire line every time.
