Are there any good tutorials or sample applications out there that demonstrate how to make an augmented reality iPhone application?

Open Xcode and choose 'Create a new Xcode project'. Select 'Augmented Reality App' to start with a basic AR setup including a preconfigured ARSKView — the camera view in ARKit on which you can start building your own implementation logic. Select 'Augmented Reality App'.
Apple's augmented reality team combines "the strengths of its hardware and software veterans," and is led by Mike Rockwell, who came from Dolby. Former employees of companies like Oculus, Amazon (from the VR team), Lytro, Microsoft, 3D animation company Weta Digital, and Lucasfilm are working on AR at Apple.
AR transforms how you work, learn, play, shop and connect with the world around you. It's the perfect way to visualise things that would be impossible or impractical to see otherwise.
I doubt exactly such a thing exists, but what you need to do is look at the location and camera frameworks for the iPhone, and go from there.
Basically, you will create a UIImagePickerController (the Camera class) and overlay information on the view, via a custom .cameraOverlayView (which is a property of UIImagePickerController in 3.0).
You will probably want to get information (location, heading, distance, etc.) from the GPS of the device, using the CoreLocation framework.
You will also probably want to do some web server interactions, and for that I suggest ASIHTTPRequest.
Those are the basic tools needed to build an AR application.
