Deal Details
Apple iPhone XS models (including large capacities and Max variants) are all $199 in-store at Walmart as of this weekend. Definitely a YMMV since these are not showing up in online inventories.

NOTE: Brickseek is showing "NO RESULTS" and Walmart.com is saying "Out of stock" for all SKUs (I checked them all). However, all 4 of the stores I checked in-person did have inventory. This seems very unusual, but I purchased a 256GB XS Max for $199 this afternoon at a store in my area so there are some models out there.

Walmart listing (shows no inventory; see note above) https://www.walmart.com/ip/Apple-.../109707311

No contract/commitment required, but I believe these are only setup to work only with AT&T. I have AT&T so I haven't explored this further.

Clarification: No AT&T account info was needed to checkout. I just asked for the phone at the electronics counter, paid the total, and walked out. I charged the phone, swapped the SIM from my existing phone, and was up and running.

Only called to check inventory since brickseek and walmart.com showed 0 inventory at all nearby stores, but all stores I visited/called had at least some off these in-stock.
How many did you end up getting? What's your location?

Have never purchased a phone from Walmart. Do I need to activate at all (selected Verizon), or just pay for the phones and be on my way?

Of the 4 stores I called in my area, all of them had some of the 64GB for the same $199 price. Only 2 had larger capacities left. One I was too slow on, the other I got.
Did you have to provide any ATT account info? It says full price, so there should be no requirement.
