Majority of people I know (due to economic factors) own lowend androidhandsets with no support for v6. This group forms majority of eyeballs that contribute revenue to local Telecoms whose network is heavily CGNAT. Handsets - Cameron would be in a better place than I to discuss this, but certainly anything used to connect to his network (T-Mobile) does, and enables access with IPv4 turned off. That includes at least iPhone (the handset I use to access his network),
IPhones handsets this part of the world are not common handsets to majority of the end-users who are not middle class folk and even most middle class folk still settle for cost effective Android handsets. and Android. https://thirdinternet.com/ipv6-on-mobile-devices/ For a tech savvy end-user the above tutorial is useful and only useful if the Teleco has made the effort to provide v6. Most data bundles are auto configured with v4 and v6 disabled for the obvious reasons that is CGNAT still rocks.
As to other systems, Apple and Linux platforms, and more recently Windows, supports IPv6, and has for quite a while. Issues there tend to be in specific applications (due to the socket interface).
Ack but this is for only those tech savvy end-users with keep interest for v6. NAT still works and misconceptions of NAT providing some level of unknown security are still widely common. Noah
