From https://developer.apple.com/arkit/:
ARKit runs on the Apple A9, A10, and A11 processors.
From https://www.apple.com/iphone-se/specs/:
A9 chip with 64‑bit architecture.
But from the iOS Device Compatibility Reference:
This says that iPhone SE is not compatible with ARKit. Could anybody clarify this for me?
Update: Apple updated the table. Now iPhone SE is showing as compatible with ARKit.
Who can use ARKit apps? Anyone using an iOS device that runs on Apple's A9, A10 or A11 Bionic processors. That includes the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, all iPad Pro models, the 9.7-inch iPad released in 2017, the iPhone 8, 8 Plus and iPhone X.
Your iPhone 5s has an A7 processor, which does not support ARKit.
Sure, it depends only on the core chips. All iPhones with A9+ are compatible with ARKit. So the iPhone SE is also compatible.
I think Apple made a mistake in the table you attached.
