I am before decision to download Xcode9. I want to play with new framework - ARKit. I know that to run app with ARKit I need a device with A9 chip or newer. Unfortunately I have an older one. My question is to people who already downloaded the new Xcode. There is a possibility to run ARKit app in my case? Any simulator for that or something else? Any ideas or will I have to buy new device?

For AR you need Camera ... So Simulator is not possible – Bala Jun 15 '17 at 12:58

ARKit is available on any iOS 11 device, but the world tracking features that enable high-quality AR experiences require a device with the A9 or later processor.It is Necessary to update your device with iOS 11 beta.

Yes Sure, Update your iPhone with iOS 11 beta using developer account. ARSample [link](https://developer.apple.com/sample-code/wwdc/2017/PlacingObjects.zip) will work awesome. – Nirmal Bajpai Jun 16 '17 at 07:23

There is another problem due to iOS11 beta1 bug, iOS 11 Beta 1 Release Notes And Known Issues According To Apple
This means you need an iPhone 6S or better to use ARKit(ARSessionConfiguration) at the current time. Until the iOS11 beta2 release...
