One thing I was looking forward to with the iOS 6 upgrade was the oft mentioned (at least in some circles) item on the iOS 6 slide presentation this spring that said "IPv6 over LTE."
Alas, I've now got iOS 6 on my Verizon iPad 3 and when not on WiFi... there's no IPv6 address that I can see.
I'm sure that the explanation for this will be a lack of carrier support, but given that back in 2009 Verizon said they would insist on IPv6 support for all LTE devices, it's hard to believe that Verizon isn't doing their part.
Now, before any trolls ask why anyone should care... I have Comcast at home, and they have DHCPv6 prefix delegation working *perfectly*. That means that in principle, I should be able to use iSSH to connect directly to machines behind my firewall without having to resort to ******** like VPNs or port forwarding.
