Does it really run on every phone since 2013, or merely 'run' (= not usefully) on every phone since 2013? The folks in my office complain that newer iOS makes older iphones slow to the point of near unusability.

iOS 11 only runs on 64 bit devices. The 5S should be able to run it pretty well.

From what I've been watching on Twitter it loses some accuracy on the older devices (I think it's 3 degrees of freedom tracking instead of six) but it's still there.

It will be interesting to see the reviews/tests on older hardware.

The 6DOF tracking only works on the 6S and up. On older devices you get 3DOF
