I'm glad I found out that screen curtain saves no battery life. But I think turning the screen brightness down does. I have mine set to 0 on all of my IOS devices. A visually impaired friend had his set very high and he'd actually lose power while it was plugged in. If he was using it for gaming for hours at a time, it would actually run out of power while it was plugged in.

According to Apple, screen curtain has no effect on battery life. Screen 
curtain sets all the pixels to black. It does not turn the backlight off.

Hello,

The battery drain problem is a known issue and would appear to be fixed by the 
second release of iOS 10.1.1. It has nothing to do with using VoiceOver as 
non-voiceOver users have the same problem.

Cheers,

Anne

Have you fiddled with the screen brightness? I have the screen bightness on my 
itouch set to zero and the screen curtain on as well. But some of my friends 
who are visually impaired turned the brightness up and it drained their battery 
a lot.

Hi Listers,

I have a new ipod touch - the latest one - but I'm somewhat puzzled if not disappointed, that the 
battery doesn't last on it as long as it is promised in the advert on Apple's website.  I haven't 
been using it very much and yet the battery drains quite quickly.  In the last 24 hours i would 
have used it for about 3 hours and it's already down to 20% only. Is this normal?  Just wanted to 
know what your experiences with batter life are, any tips and tricks?  I've switched off 
"background app refresh", and enabled "reduced motion" both of which are 
supposed to improve battery life.  I've also switched of mail fetching so that I do it only 
manually.

Andrew
