Verizon in the USA does have iOS on ipv6. Afaik, the network must ask for it the same way all Android Samsung devices on t-mobile now have ipv6 as

I have been trying to locate someone within Apple for months now to speak about IPv6 on their mobile devices. The wall of silence is impressive.
The android manufacturers at last respond, even though it's not always
a the answer I want :P
Win phone 8 has a menu option for ipv6 but I don't think it works ....
Yeah, it's like the Galaxy Nexus which has IPv4v6 in the menu but if you
use it it asks for an IPv4 PDP context and when it gets it, it falls over and needs to be rebooted.
I have been v6-only on mobile for 2 years now, and I feel fine. I am
sending this email using a v6-only note2... dogfooding it. Yet, the rotten apples spoil the bunch as the saying goes... and hence 464xlat.
Any progress with this, to get this into mainline?
Yes, there has been progress. These code parts have been merged into mainline Android code base. Time to start bugging the oems, since it is merged at the aosp level. There are still a peice pending review, but there is enough merged code to get the ball rolling for sure https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/q/owner:dan-android%2540drown.org+...
Then again, I feel we'll have proper IPv4v6 PDP context before there is any worthwile 464XLAT deployment, but for the long tail I would like to have 464XLAT in all devices.
Maybe. But the goal is to get rid of ipv4 constraints on the ue, not simply a foot race. But if 464xlat wins that race too, great. CB
