Pokémon Go to lose support for older iPhones


After February 28, those using Apple devices which are not upgradable to iOS 11 will find themselves unable to access their Pokémon Go account.

Pokémon Go fans using older Apple devices will soon find that their version of the game to stop due to a forthcoming update. According to Niantic, an update to the game rolling out on February 28 will mean that Apple devices not able to support iOS 11 will be unable to cope with the upcoming improvements. The improvements involve a new AR Plus mode which takes advantage of the more advanced AR capabilities that were introduced with iOS 11 and AR Kit.
This utilisation of AR will have Pokémon to have a fixed place in the world meaning that players will be able to go up to them and see them to scale. Having a fixed place in the world will also mean the Pokémon will be aware of a player's presence. An awareness meter will now appear beside wild Pokémon Go and if it fills up, the Pokémon will run away before you can catch it.

After February 28, those using Apple devices not able to upgrade to iOS 11 (iPhone 5, iPhone 5C, iPad 4th Gen, iPad 3rd Gen, iPad mini, and iPad 2) will find themselves unable to access their Pokémon Go account. Though your account won’t be lost entirely, you will have to upgrade to a newer iPhone. Last year’s iPhone models would be better a better option, as their new chipsets are AR compatible.
