According to Apple, IPv6 is 1.4 times faster than IPv4 (latency wise AFAICT):

This is supposedly "due to reduced NAT usage and improved routing."

In that article, Apple says the connection setup is 1.4x faster, not that there is a 40% improvement in throughput or latency.
I wonder are these mostly on Client side or is this ISP side of things?

It is great marketing to list 40%. But we need to know 40% of what. If it was 1ms, than 0.4ms faster isn't much of a performance.
