Pokémon GO developer Niantic recently announced that more realistic Pokémon encounters are coming to the immensely-popular mobile game via a brand-new AR+ mode. AR+ leverages Apple’s ARKit framework to build on the AR work already implemented in Pokémon GO. Starting today, December 21, Pokémon GO players around the world running iOS 11 on iPhone 6s and newer models will be able to experience AR+ in Pokémon GO. To celebrate this new mode, Apple CEO Tim Cook has shared an image of him next to a large version of the Legendary Groudon:

You never know who you’ll run into on the Apple campus! The power of ARKit is coming to @PokemonGoApp today — taking its AR to a new level, including more interactivity between Pokémon and Trainers. pic.twitter.com/ob9K4UEvqg
