95% of american households will have an ISP that supports IPv6, but only 40% of households will actually get it on their desktop or tv since they just get the routers from their ISP. All the other households will still be running routers that max out at 100Mbps and will not have IPv6 support at all.

But it will be irrelevant since most internet access will be via mobile phones. Most of those will be ipv6 capable, but many apps will silently fail on ipv6-only networks.

People who once suspected 5G towers as CIA eavesdropping will now claim that IPv6 is european encroachment. IPv6 conspiracy theories are widespread enough that major ISPs expend significant capital fighting them.

99.9% of SOHO and small businesses networks that roll out in-house services will still be running only ipv4.

despite being measurably more secure, no more phones are released that allow fingerprint authentication.

the fbi has stopped asking for backdoors for phones since face unlock is very broken now, but in widespread use

samsung releases a machine learning enabled voice authentication mechanism for bixby, and is enabled by default. For whatever reason, a barking dog is able to unlock any bixby protected phone. Samsung still refuses to put bixby out to pasture.

Apple releases a set of airpods that access mobile networks and talk to Siri without the need for an iphone. Because of year-round pandemics, the world is now filled with people wearing masks, talking to themselves.

Two people arrive from 1985 in a Delorean and are unable to communicate with anyone, despite everyone speaking English. They catch the latest coronavirus strain and die, due to an inability to provide proof of healthcare insurance.
