Chromedriver emulation with selenium and node

Trying to setup e2e tests using emulation of mobile devices with chromedriver. We are using chromedriver 2.3 on Mac OS and it appears that the supplied chromeOptions are not valid:

var webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver');
var capabilities = {
    browserName: 'chrome',
    chromeOptions: {
        mobileEmulation: {
            deviceName: 'Apple iPhone 5'
        }
    }
};

var driver = new webdriver
        .Builder()
        .withCapabilities(capabilities)
        .build();

driver.get('http://google.com');

var bool = false;
setTimeout(function () {
    bool = true;
}, 9000);
driver.wait(function() {
    return bool;
}, 10000);

driver.quit();

What am I doing wrong? Here is the stack trace of the error:

UnknownError: unknown error: cannot parse capability: chromeOptions
from unknown error: unrecognized chrome option: mobileEmulation

this code definitely works in nodeJS and selenium-webdriver: ^4.0.0-alpha.1 and chrome 71; just mind that from time to time, the list 

deviceName: 'Apple iPhone 5'

will change with new devices and older ones removed.

I had the same issue with Chrome Driver 2.9 and it works fine now since I replaced it with the newest Chrome Driver 2.15.
