thats meant so that the mic being constantly on doesn't kill battery life.
Pretty sure it would not be that bad since it's only listening for a key word...
Yeah this is really upsetting to me as it's easily one of my favorite new features!
Perhaps once it gains popularity they will alter it? Hoping so! Really loses value when relegated to plugged in status.

I'm not sure it quite works that way...

Well it is launching itself when it hears "Hey Siri!" so yeah I'm pretty sure it works that way.

The comand hey Siri only works in English. Tried it on Spanish didn't work!
Not necessarily... Google Launcher constantly listen to "OK Google" without kill the battery life... Loving the this feature...
I see the rationale behind making it plugged-in only, but why not give us the choice?
Sounds like that might be the case.It seems to me that this is one of those things where the iPhone 6 will have a low power chip within the new A8 (or whatever they call it) that listens for "Hey Siri" without draining the battery, ala Moto X. All previous phones will probably be limited to plugged in only.
