Hello,

It's been a while, but I was under the impression that Apple's iOS 
honors rfc8305, section 3:

"When a client has both IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity and is trying to
    establish a connection with a named host, it needs to send out both
    AAAA and A DNS queries.  Both queries SHOULD be made as soon after
    one another as possible, with the AAAA query made first and
    immediately followed by the A query.

    Implementations SHOULD NOT wait for both families of answers to
    return before attempting connection establishment"

I was running some tests on an iphone 11 w/ safari and realized that the client waits for both DNS replies before sending the
first SYN packet (got several captures). Has anybody got any insights on this?
