Which iOS supports IPv6

On World IPv6 Day, some friends and I  had discussion about which iPhone OS (iOS) supports IPv6.  In fact, iOS 4.1 has IPv6 support but due to the lack of privacy-enabled address, the use of  iOS 4.1 in IPv6 environment is risky and the users can be tracked through the EUI-64 bit identifier.  iOS 4.3 has privacy address enabled by default.  Hence, it is only logical and sensible to claim iOS 4.3 fully supports IPv6.

Can readers please correct me if I am wrong.  Thank you.
