When I have my iPhone 16 in my pocket, Siri sometimes activates on its own. It's definitely not activated by voice. I tried googling this, and apparently holding the side button can activate Siri, but nothing happens when I intentionally try pressing and holding the side button. I've also tried the side button in combination with other buttons, but nothing works. How on Earth is Siri activating?

To verify:
Is Hey Siri on?
Are you using a case on your iPhone? If so, tell me what it looks like.
Do you have emergency SOS 🆘 enabled via side button presses?

I listen to audiobooks on-the-regular, and I notice that Siri on my AW10 sometimes activates . . . it only takes a few que-words to get HIr to attention.

Different story that’s raise to speak, a watchOS exclusive.

iPhones don’t have that feature.

Yes; but . . . Siri!!1!

I've had Siri on my 13-mini and HomePod Mini both activate with external voice-cues from movies, conversations, etc.

I don't need to raise these for Siri to wake-up, and await/expect with a prompt....

Got it there are settings that require them to be turned on in order for you to get the most out of the HomePod

Last night, teh Lil'Vixen responded with a Track from my Music Library when watching Constantine on iStore/iMovie/wetf Paid-Video-Thingy on my LG last night.

Not a bad Track (I previously added it; obviously), but not what I was expecting 🤷‍♂️
