    Beginning with iOS 9 on the iPhone 6S, "Hey, Siri" does not require the phone to be plugged in to a power source.

    It is the combination of iOS 9 and the upgraded hardware in the iPhone 6S that allow the "Hey, Siri" feature to work without external power.
    Using iOS 9 on a phone older than the 6S still requires the phone to be plugged in to a power source.
    Thanks for clarifying

    Thanks for the explanation - I'm using a 6, so that's obviously why it needs to be plugged in.
