Screen curtain doesn't save any battery. With an LCD display, the entire display is backlit so it consumes just as much energy whether it's dark or not. It may be the case that the new OLED displays, at least new to Apple, will save some battery when dark, but since the XR, which uses an LCD display, has better battery life then the XS, which uses an OLED display, this doesn't seem to be the case, at least for now.

Screen dimming will save some battery life, and as someone recently pointed out on list, your iPhone will dim the screen if you have screen curtain on, so my first paragraph could just be an exercise in splitting hairs.

I know the screen curtain will save some battery, although, I am not sure how much and if it would make a considerable difference.  I use screen curtain when in public and don’t want on-lookers to see what I am doing on my phone.  I use it mainly for privacy.
