Yet until Apple gets to that IPv6-only stage, you’re refusing to support IPv6 for those of us that need it today even while we still need IPv4, too. Owen

My phone is perfectly capable of IPv6, yet because it doesn’t support your particular religion about IPv4 translation, you refuse to support IPv6 on it.
When is T-Mobile going to fix their IPv6 implementation and stop ignoring the #1 market leading phone manufacturer?

Apple has an ipv6-only plan in the link above. They have committed to remove the ipv4 dependent apps from the app store. Once the ipv4-only apps are bannished, i dont see any roadblocks for ipv6 on iPhone.
While you say there is a religious war, i am saying Apple outlined a plan for ipv6-only and T-Mobile is likely to follow that plan from Apple.

TL;DR version: the data shows you are negligent if your eyeball content (cdn, cloud, ...) does not support native ipv6.
With the NAT and IPv4 leasing threads lingering on, i figured it was time for an update on how the other half live
More than 1/3 of North America mobile traffic to the top websites is end to end ipv6 http://www.worldipv6launch.org/2015-wrapup-more-than-13-us-mobile-traffic-is... <http://www.worldipv6launch.org/2015-wrapup-more-than-13-us-mobile-traffic-is-ipv6-and-still-growing/>
The trend is clearly growing, and as AT&T and Sprint catch up with T-Mobile and Verizon, the acceleration to 50% should be easily achieved. Furthermore, only one mobile carrier has iPhone dual-stacked today (afaik), but Apple has a plan for banning ipv4-only apps and has delivered the required features for having ipv6-only iphones in 2016 with these iOS 9.2 features

On some mobile providers, ipv6 is already dominant and ipv4 is waning. Once iPhones updates to ipv6-only as described above, ipv4 will only be a corner case of operations. This comes with added benefit that ipv6 is faster :

At least in mobile, the change to ipv6 has been quick and the pace is increasing -- not just on ipv6 deployment but also on ipv4 shutdown. I know many people liken ipv6 to "the boy who cried wolf", so be it, the data shows the ipv6 wolf is here. Or perhapsin hind sight, we will see the right metaphor was "the tortoise and the hare" or "the little engine that could"... Or even better IPv4 is John Henry. It was the best in its time, but times have changed.
