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.

"I am writing to get some insight into why Walmart is taking online reservations for phone purchases, but when I get to the store they cannot help me because the OSL employee hasn't been there in weeks. This is Store #00xxx in City, State. Please advise.

The guy I spoke to said that there isn't a "cell phone guy" in today, but anyone in electronics can sell the phones. It's only a 15 minutes drive for me, so it worth a shot. Wish me luck!

Picked up two once I emailed OSL and got someone to be at that store. They were open outer boxes, but never activated and plastic still on phones. He claimed they weren't locked to any provider, but they show locked before activation on one of the checkers I use. Getting GSX reports from eBay now. I tried to get a discount for the open box, but at this point was just glad to pick them up. Let's hope they aren't locked to Sprint or something...

Electronics, unless your store has a dedicated Wireless kiosk elsewhere in the store. There is a separate terminal with a different looking monitor, in my case the store had two terminals in electronics.

I was able to pick up my reservation no problem in the electronics section. They had not heard the term reservation before. They didn't know the price until they asked for the zip code.

Made reservations for 3 phones. Went to electronics and didn't have an issue getting them. It just took a long time. Asked about additional phones and guy said he could only sell 3 phones per day to someone. Not sure if that is a WM policy or not. Now trying to figure out if they are unlocked. Good luck.

All 3 phones were not in plastic, which is annoying, but I did not complain.
