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
