I think the 4x4 MIMO antenna (for faster cellular internet) is the most enticing feature. Not enough for me to spend $1500 though.

I've found that increased LTE speeds on paper haven't really translated into real world speed increases for me -- my phone can do 1Gbps LTE on paper according to the manufacturer, but I've never actually seen higher than 50Mbps or so, even when within 100m or so of the base station with line of sight.

The Current iPhone XS implementation of 4x4 Antenna with Intel Modem doesn't work really well, I am hoping they will improved it in the 2019 model along with new Intel Modem.

Nitpick: the 4x4 MIMO antenna comes with the $999 iPhone as well, so you don't need to spend $1500 for it.
