To add to what has been said below, backlighting also comes in handy for those times when we need to ask a sighted person for help such as when there is no speach or when we're not sure how to navigate in an app which is hardly accessible.

Hi Todd, You can turn screen brightness to 0% that will be as low as you can go. Backlighting may not do anything for a blind person, but I think you forget that the iPhone or, for that matter, the iPad and iPod Touch are not blind specific devices. They are among the most popular off-the-shelf mobile devices in the entire world and Apple has taken the lead in making them accessible to an extend which I think has never been seen before for anything else. There are of course also those visually impaired users who still have enough useable vision to supplement their Voiceover experience or to use the device completely without Voiceover and for them of course good brightness and contrast along with large text are essential.

All: What does the screen light do for those blind folks with no light perception? Makes no sense for the screen or blacklighting to eat up battery current! That is crazy!
