The thing about any testimonials is they are all subjective. Someone else using the screen curtain exclusively may not get as good of battery life because of battery care, or the lack there of. I drain my battery probably every other week and plug it in at bedtime. I never, never unplug the phone unless it has charged to 100%. I think that the only ones who can conclusively say which is better are the folks who are responsible for writing the IOS. But it still seems logical to me that the screen curtain is more of a complete shut-off as apposed to a fade-out of the screen.

Yes, I’ve heard this anecdote from a number of different folks over the years. Unfortunately, AFAIK none of these folks have produced any hard evidence to show that turning the screen curtain on actually increases battery life. I’d love to see a controlled and replicable study to either prove or disprove the assertions of those of us including Apple who believe there’s no difference in battery life with or without screen curtain.
