Is inline video supported in iPhone's Safari in iOS6?

I'm not able to find anything that confirms or denies a rumor I heard that iPhones running iOS 6 can display video inline in Safari.

Is this still just an iPad feature?

The iPhone and iPod seem just about the only devices/browsers that force fullscreen video playback in Safari (and in apps that make use of its unmodified WebView)

You can work around this issue by simulating the playback by skimming the video instead of actually .play()'ing it.

I wrote a module that takes care of playing the video and synchronizing it to the audio (but it also works on videos without a sound track): iphone-inline-video

No. Video on the iPhone (iOS 6) still pops full-screen. I suspect this will not change any time soon as it's considered a feature, rather than a limitation.
