sorry forgot to mention I was referring to my iPhone 5s.<br />
<br />
thanks for your prompt reply. if so, that should be the reason why my phone does not respond unplugged.<br />
<br />
is there any way or hack to make my vintage iPhone 5s do that without upgrading to 6 in size of a tile or chopping board? :)

There isn't any hack to do that unless..... You jailbreak it (which I don't recommend).

I'm thinking if having an external battery would make my 5s &quot;compatible&quot; with 6s, hehe.

hi folks<br />
<br />
i know it is by design that iOS Siri can respond to my question automatically when the iPhone is plugged. but I do think it would be handy if the phone could respond even unplugged, see while I am working outdoor and leaving the phone on a table beside me. <br />
<br />
any hints to do that please?<br />
<br />
thanks,<br />

Can Siri automatically respond when unplugged?

The iPhone is a smartphone made by Apple Inc. It and the iPad, along with several other mobile devices from Apple, run on the iOS operating system, which has its own topic, as does the iPad for device-specific questions. Native iOS applications are written in Objective-C or in Swift using the Cocoa Touch frameworks or HTML5 compiled with the help of a package manager such as Adobe PhoneGap; a common IDE is Xcode.

iOS is a mobile operating system developed by Apple; it is a derivative of the Mac OS X desktop operating system, with which it shares many (but not all) common frameworks and other components. These include Cocoa Touch, the Mach/Darwin/XNU kernel and code from the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD). Each iOS application runs in its own secure sandbox to prevent altering other applications, the operating system, or any other data.

Programs written for the Apple operating systems are distinguished from software created for other operating systems in that it must be approved by Apple for use on its devices, whether it is from Apple (Final Cut, iWork, Keynote, Logic Pro and GarageBand are popular titles), or is a third party application from Parallels, Nuance, Microsoft and Amazon, among many others.
