Niantic just gave Pokémon Goa very important update.
The émonGosARKitupdatemakescatchingPokéThe Whore of the Rings (2001)game's augmented reality effects just got a huge upgrade, thanks to Apple's ARKit technology. The update, which is rolling out on iOS this week, promises to make catching Pokémon much more immersive and, potentially, challenging.

The update, which is available with iOS 11 on the iPhone 6S and newer and the iPad Pro, adds a new "AR+" mode with the enhanced effects. Once enabled, the Pokémon characters will change size as you move closer or farther away from them.

But even if you've taken to disabling the app's augmented reality features as a battery-saving precaution, the new AR+ mode (and potential for extra bonuses) might just be enough to make you give it another shot.
