You don't have to wait for Siri to respond and you haven't had to for a while. Just say "Hey Siri" followed by the command with no pauses and it will handle it just fine.
- mung 9y agoThis I think was poorly communicated. I found it out by accident, prior to that it seemed like Siri had taken a nosedive. "Hey Siri...." waiting.... followed by the cancel tone or sometimes "Yes?" - then the cancelled tone.
- andrewmcwatters 9y agoThis isn't true. On iPhone 6, running the latest iOS version, with a brand new battery, there is a significant delay before you can speak. Instead, you have to hold the home button down. https://david-smith.org/iosversionstats/ https://david-smith.org/iosversionstats/
- IBM 9y agoHey Siri doesn't work on the iPhone 6 if it's not plugged in. Only the 6s and later do, and it's enabled by a specific low power chip.
- breatheoften 9y agoI might try 'Hey Siri' again now that I'm on iphone X. I'm not particularly a fan of always on mic's and the experience in the past was never sufficient for me. (side benefit -- as a result of this conversation I have discovered that its possible to turn off the 'activate siri via side button' mis-feature -- HURRAY! I can count on one hand the number of times where I invoked siri this way on purpose and on 100 hands the times its happened on accident. [Yes that does mean I almost never intentionally invoke siri])
