ip4’s not dead—it’s just retired and still working part-time.
ip6 is the future, but until every last router and IoT toaster supports it, ip4’s here to stay.
For stats, try IPv6-test.com to see how your connection stacks up.

whoa, thanks for all the replies! didn’t realize ip4 was such a zombie—still alive but kinda undead lol.
the NAT and dual-stack stuff makes sense. gonna poke around with Wireshark and check those stats sites.
one more q: anyone here actually made the full switch to ip6? how’d it go?
