because nobody needs an sd card slot. and nobody replaces their battery. at least not in an iphone. i've owned 4 iphones since 2009 and _never_ had to replace a battery. the phones are still working, btw. (well, the 4s battery would need a replacement - after 4! years)
these two are just bs benchmarks. like floppy disks and dvd drives.
edit: the display. well, i'd go so far as to say that nobody in the industry has as good as displays as apple. and nobody needs higher resolutions on that physical space when they already can't see pixels anymore.
My iPhone 6 needs a new battery desperately, but I can't easily replace it. So yes, someone needs to replace an iPhone battery. Would that it were easy.
It's $0 on one of my old Samsung Galaxy phones + cost of a battery + not having to give up my phone for a few days (they said they'd have to ship it somewhere at the Apple Store).

I found iFixit guides very easy to follow.

It's an $80 service at the Apple Store.

The cost of battery is included in the $80. And Apple will almost always do the replacement in-store while you wait.
The battery itself is like $30 IIRC. Much of the cost is labor for the replacement.
you paid what, 600 bucks for that damn thing? just get it replaced at the genius bar. and fix your usage pattern :p
