In my experience, the economic incentive to keep NAT444 in mobile
networks vs. going any kind of IPv6 is balanced more in favour of the
former.

I applaud folk like Apple using their market power to "force the issue".
How mobile operators will react to that will be interesting, but it
could make for a lot more impact of Android did the same.

This one will be hard to predict, especially when a good portion of the
capex budget of the typical large scale mobile operator goes to NAT444.
