Even though I am running 12.0.1, maybe my old iPhone 6 is too old to take 
advantage of this feature. I have tried increasing screen value both from 
within the control pannel and settings, both with screen curtain on and off 
when I change the value, and it never says the value returns to zero when I 
turn screen curtain on. Restarting did not help. I may experiment to see if my 
battery drain is worse with the value set higher and turning on the screen 
curtain to see if it really is lowering the value to zero and simply not 
changing what VoiceOver reads. In the meantime, it isn't all that hard to 
change it in control pannel when needed. I am glad this feature  works for some 
of you.

Subject: RE: Brightness set to zero it goes up by itself

Well, well... You learn something new every day I guess.
Nifty feature I wasn't aware of.
One thing though, I’m noticing that with auto brightness turned on and after I 
turn the screen curtain off, brightness will go up to whatever percentage 
depending on ambient brightness, but when I enable the screen curtain, the 
brightness doesn't go back to zero.
Can anyone else confirm this?
This would be my concern with the battery draining if I were to use this 
feature since it's so easy to turn screen curtain back on and not bother about 
checking brightness

I believe the feature where screen brightness was set to 0% automatically when 
screen curtain is on was introduced in iOS 11 at some point.

I can confirm this as well. Turning on auto brightness along with the screen 
curtain always turn the brightness down to zero. You can verify this by looking 
in the control center at screen brightness when both auto brightness on screen 
curtain are on it should read 0%.
