The biggest difference is often overlooked because it's not part of the packet format or anything: IPv4 /32s were not carried over to IPv6. If you owned 1.1.1.1 on ipv4, and you switch to ipv6, you get an entirely different address instead of 1.1.1.1::. Maaybe you get an ipv6-mapped-ipv4 ::ffff:1.1.1.1, but that's temporary and isn't divisible into like 1.1.1.1.2.

And then all the defaults about how basically everything works are different. Home router in v6 mode means no DHCP, no NAT, and hopefully yes firewall. In theory you can make it work a lot like v4, but by default it's not.
