I don't think Apple will ever give up their IPv4 block unless forced by legal means of some sort. They use the massive IPv4 block internally if I recall correctly.

I could see most others doing it though.

Yes I heard the same thing. Must be really convenient having a publicly addressable (probably not publicly routable) IP address for every machine internally.

Yes, it does make a lot of stuff much easier. Which is why it is so painful to see IPv6 mired in the mud for year after year.
