hey Siri limited to 6 plus?

[sfwalter]

does the final iOS 9 support hey Siri without a power source for the iPhone 6? Or is this feature limited to he new 6 plus?

i think it's in both 6s and 6s+. certainly not in existing models.

another feature for which I'm doubtful that new hardware was required. I feel the motion coprocessor in 5s and 6 could have done this job. oh well...

The Always On M9 co-processor.

Yes, M9 (some new circuitry) plus A9 integration, so it is a hardware limitation.

Bummer. But at the same time I'm ordering a new phone saturday morning. So not so bummer.
