You can trivially connect an iOS device via IPv6 only.

Can you share details on how one trivially connects via IPv6 only? I see no option in iOS Wi-Fi settings to do this, and I think it's reasonable to expect not to have to turn off IPv4 on my access point to test IPv6-only networking.

Presumably thats with the network having a PLAT somewhere if you’re relying on CLAT for any v4-only connections when you use safari

I think they're saying you can't force disable ipv4 entirely.

I’m going to guess no one responding to me has actually tried connecting to an IPv6 only network because it works without incident. Will your apps? Who knows - apple hasn’t always been great at enforcing that.
