There is no evidence that Night Shift has any impact on battery life. Night Shift simply changes the color temperature of your display to warmer colors. At InsideTechno we don’t believe that Night Shift saves battery life on iPhone.
Apple Support team also confirmed in a Tweet by stating that Night Shift should not affect the battery life at all.
