According to this documentation,

arc4random_uniform() is recommended over constructions like arc4random() % upper_bound as it avoids "modulo bias" when the upper bound is not a power of two.

How bad is the bias? For example if I generate random numbers with an upper bound of 6, what's the difference between using arc4random with % and arc4random_uniform()?
