Hi Jonathan,
I know that is what they say but my experience has been that screen
curtain does effect the battery drain on my Iphones. I use my phone a
lot while in a vehicle and so I notice the battery frequently. I have
tried it with curtain on and also with it off and it drains faster with
it off.
I appreciate you trying to give me the straight scoop though but my
experience is telling me that maybe there are conditions they aren't
considering.

Hi Dan, Apple Accessibility has confirmed on multiple occasions that
screen curtain has no effect on battery drain. Adjusting the
brightness does though. I always have my brightness at 0%. Even if I
need to turn it up to get sighted help if VO breaks badly enough,
which hasn't happened in many years, now you can tell Siri to increase
the brightness for you, so I can't think of a reason that a totally
blind user shouldn't have their brightness at 0% and automatic
brightness adjustment disabled.
Screen curtain is a great security tool, but it has no impact on
battery drain.

You might want to check to see if screen curtain is on. If not
turning it on will drain the battery much more slowly.

I am noticing amazing battery drain on my iPhone 6s. I have been
using the beta for several days now, and I don't recall this battery
drain starting when I got the beta. It seems to just be over the
past few days, and when I look for battery usage details, it seems
that the mail app is by far the biggest consumer of battery. Now
that makes sense, since I do a lot of mail on my phone. But this
morning, having charge my battery up to 100% and turn airplane mode
on last night, I got up with the battery saying 99%. Within an hour,
it has dropped to 62%. That seems a bit much. Location tracking is
not on. No apps are loaded in the background. I just basically been
using the mail app.
