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 had 64gb and rang up as 499. Bleh
That is not the postpaid inventory, but likely an unlocked refurb. You need to talk to the OSL/postpaid wireless people or use the reservation online.

the rep was cooler than the feet of a polar bear. he just asked 'pay in full?' I said yes, he said took 2 minutes, and says '$199, I think you already know that!'
best of luck guys

Proof? I find it weird, they allowed you to buy 4 at once.
Do you honestly think I have nothing better to do than lie about my purchases on the internet? What do I even have to gain from that? I guess I can upload a picture if you really want to see some proof. That said, the guy did have to ring the phones up in four separate transactions, which is why I said it took a while.

Here's a picture of the four I bought. I reserved them all as Verizon, but people seemed to be saying that they are actually unlocked. Can anyone confirm?
