In a week’s time, your iPhone may no longer be able to play Pokémon GO if you’re using a particularly old model. The cut-off is the iPhone 5, where that model and below will no longer support Pokémon GO as of February 28th, and you won’t be able to keep playing on that device at all. To be clear this is the iPhone 5 and below, not the 5s, which should continue to work. So you might have an iPhone 7 while your seven year-old is using your old iPhone 5 to catch Pokémon. I have an iPhone 6 I’ve been using to play Pokémon GO since the start (it even has a crack in it from when I dropped it trying to play with freezing fingers last winter), but now I’m starting to get left behind.
