Pokemon Go will be one of the first apps to embrace Apple's new AR augmented reality technology.
Apple revealed its new ARKit AR technology during this week's WWDC keynote in the US.
The technology will use faster and more stable motion tracking to improve AR apps on iPhone and iPad. Users can also expect improved lighting and scaling effects.
Once the ARKit update goes live, Pokemon will be more grounded and cast realistic shadows.
"Apple is introducing a new platform for developers to help them bring high-quality AR experiences to iPhone and iPad using the built-in camera, powerful processors and motion sensors in iOS devices," reads an Apple statement.
There's no release date, but fans can expect the update to drop alongside iOS 11 this autumn.

Nintendo/Paul Tassi The Dream Yesterday was a strange day for Nintendo fans who tuned into a new Pokémon Direct hoping for some relatively simple news: Pokémon is coming to the Nintendo Switch. Of course, technically, that did happen, but only in the form of Pokken Tournament getting ported over from the Wii U to the Switch in a new “Deluxe” package .

Special research missions are longer, with trainers having to complete several ...
