Policies like this put a fire under us mobile app guys:

https://developer.apple.com/support/ipv6/

Not really. It's just from the developers side. This won't force ISPs to deploy IPv6, merely some v4-v6 NAT bullshit.

Cart. Horse.

Apple adopted the policy to force all developers to keep in mind IPv6-only networks, because Apple was given a mandate by several mobile carriers (ISPs) that they needed to support IPv6-only networks.

Facebook's article here even mentions that mobile carriers are well on their way to their planned 100% IPv6-only networks. (T-Mobile is at 90% IPv6 traffic.)

Is that enforced? I submitted an app in 2017 that does not work at all over IPv6 and it was accepted.
