"In IPv6 when using address auto-configuration, the Interface Identifier (MAC address) of an interface port is used to make its public IP address unique, exposing the type of hardware used and providing a unique handle for a user's online activity." - wikipedia on ipv6. ipv4 is more fungible than your MAC address.

The current versions of Windows, Mac OS X, iOS and Android all use RFC 4941 Privacy Extensions by default to randomize the address used

I was basing this on an ipv6 book I read a while ago. Just used wikipedia as the reference.
