At the 2017 Global Developer Conference (WWDC 2017), Apple announced many amazing details about the new version of ARKit platform, but did not mention that its popular APP application can already support new features.
The latest version of Apple Map already supports ARKit applications. If you are now performing beta testing on your iSO 11 device, you can try it right away, and after a while you will find that this thing is really worth! Apple Maps already supports 3D images in cities around the world. Now use iPhone as a camera, and you can view these images up close with ARKit. This product looks similar to the free apps of Google Earth VR, HTC Vive and Oculus Rift. The key difference in this is obviously whether the user is in the VR experience; this may not sound so exciting, but more and more people are going to see what it is.
Check out the support comments below. Very amazing!
So... Apple put a handsome VR mode in Apple Map (ARKit driver), and then didn't promote it as a big event? Wow pic.twitter.com/2ZBBXj4NYM

Do you want to try it yourself? Well, you need a device with an iPhone 6S or higher configuration that needs to run the latest iOS 11 beta. Then, open Apple Map and select 3D View in satellite map mode. Now you can see images of your chosen city on the screen.
Hopefully one day we can see Apple maps of mixed reality (MR) or virtual reality (VR) on Apple headset. Now Apple is the first to compete in the field of cutting-edge technology competition, and I hope we can see new products and new technologies in the future.
