IPV6...

[Bob Sneidar]

Almost everything these days is running IPV6. I don't have a problem with that. I have a BIG problem with Apple excluding IPV4 from their devices. Behind my gateway I want to use what I want to use. Apple is basically saying, "No, you can't." I don't like a company taking something away from a product I already own. Now if they were to say that in the future any new products will only support IPV6, that would suck, but it would be a different matter.

You will say, "Well then don't upgrade to iOS 9!" My response is, I purchased my iPhone with the understanding that included in that deal would be all the updates needed to make it more stable and secure. I'm being told that deal is off unless I conform to how Apple thinks the IT world should go. Like I said before, EFF em.

To add to this discussion: It only SEEMs like there are plenty of IPv4
addresses available because of NAT (Network Address Translation). Most
people get their IP address behind some sort of router doing NAT to the
internet - you see an address like 192.168.#.# but your service provider
is - somewhere in their network - running IPv6 or will be.
