Do majority of smart handsets OS today support v6?
Majority of people I know (due to economic factors) own lowend android handsets
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), and Android.

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).
I thought I had heard that there were carriers out there that are mainly
(always?) using v6 to the phones? i assume they just nat somewhere for
v4 sites?
And wouldn't it take effort to *disable* v6 capability for iphones and
android? with happy eyeballs it just sort of works.
