Niantic has announced that Pokémon GO will no longer run on the iPhone 5/5C and older iPads as of the next update …
Only devices able to run iOS 11 will in future be supported. This also means that the game will no longer run on the iPad 2, 3rd or 4th generation iPads and the 1st gen iPad mini.
The company says that this is because older models won’t have enough power to run the next release of the game.
Attempting to sign in on an older device after the update will display a message informing you that you need to switch to a supported model.
The company announced last month that it would be using ARKit to support hyper-realistic Pokémon on iOS devices.
