> iphones are v6 only

Are you sure about this? Do you have a link with details?

If I disconnect from WiFi and use the SIM card currently in my iPhone, and I go to one of the websites that tell me my public IPv4 and IPv6 address it shows that the mobile internet connection I have with this SIM card is IPv4 only.

just checked again on an iphone se, 1st-gen, ios 15.x on t-mobile reseller in germany:

actually there is a v4 default route on the wwan-interface that appears to be a p2p link (192/32) probably to a cgnat.

besides 127/8, there are a only v6 routes, a lot of them.

Here’s the routing table that the HE.net Network Tools shows for my cellular connection shortly after I’ve turned off WiFi on my iPhone 14 Pro.

None of the entries in the cellular routing table is IPv6 with my current SIM card. So I am doubting more and more the claim that iPhone is somehow IPv6 only.

Seems more like some people have carriers that choose to provide them IPv6 only, and because of that they think that it has to do with the iPhone itself.
