iOS Supporting IPv6-Only Networks
Out of curiosity, why would anyone use Unix or BSD sockets on iOS if Apple provides way better APIs?

Think game engines or legacy C++ projects there were ported to the platform and already have their own network implementation.

Maybe familiarity? Porting existing UNIX code to iOS (seems like that'd be pretty rare)?

Hmm, good point. I guess that most of the apps that use BSD/Unix sockets are libraries then.
