I could ask the opposite, what makes you think all, most or even some sighted people know about the screen curtain? I am completely blind but as part of operating a retail store in a small town where the only other few visually impaired or blind people are some elderly folks who have lost their sight I deal exclusively with sighted people and that includes going to buying shows where I often pass my phone to a sales rep to show him a picture or ask him/her to take a picture of a product to show to my employees. I rarely have come across anybody who can even take a picture when Voiceover is on because sighted people don’t know you have to double tap a button when Voiceover is active, they tap the Take Picture button a few times until I tell them that doesn’t work. I don’t often turn on the screen curtain, but when I do and forget I usually get the comment “Hmm, your phone is off” or “your screen doesn’t work”. I guaranty that if you went to a mall and did a random survey of 500 sighted people where you handed them an iPhone with Voiceover and the screen curtain on and asked them the simple question whether they can tell you the time which is displayed on the phone that none of them could. You might of course get lucky and somebody may have a blind friend or family member who may have told them about the screen curtain feature which does not exist for sighted people and is completely a foreign concept for them.

I think you and others are sadly mistaken when you think sighted people don’t know anything about the Screen Curtain?, but each to their own! LOL!

They haven't a clue, and there is nothing to see. Wondering the very same thing. Given that a sighted person will use the screen to do what we do using the screen reader, how could they do it without anything to see?
