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.

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?
Best to get gsx report on eBay. 99 cents each will tell you unlocked or not.

That's just photoshop with a original iPhone box.

I bought two XS Max 256 and am currently going through the install process. The phone is doing a software update currently. I purchased for AT&T and signed up for your Bring your Own Device (apparently $40 per phone/mo). I have T-Mobile. I have not put in the AT&T sim, just moved my T-Mobile sim over and am waiting for the installation to complete. I will report back.

From the WARP computer, they have to find and select "device only." It will then prompt them to print a barcode, which can be scanned at a cash register to process the sale.

Got one!! XS Max 64Gb.

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
Nice.

Did he scan the phones or did he print something out and scanned that instead?

I can't say with 100% certainty, but the guy at electronics at my store said after the amount of reservations meet the amount in the stores inventory, no more can be reserves. So, I'd you are able to reserve, they SHOULD have them. These phones are met in cages, so it is far less likely that they would go missing from the inventory. Of course, employees could always hide them for themselves and say the inventory is wrong, so YMMV as always.

He did use the WARP to print out a barcode and scanned it before check out.

She tried that. I think she isn't doing it right. She looks to be on drugs

Had a reservation for two AT&T XS Max 256gb. Store had them but the electronics employee refused to sell them to me due to orders from his manager to not sell any phone without activation. Tried to argue my case but got nowhere. Very YMMV on this deal.

Might try emailing as someone did earlier but not getting my hopes up.

That definitely sucks. Even online shows full price you can pay for which is $199

id say no more than $10.

which is why offer $15 "tip" for a phone sold out right.

LOL.
there are intervals it starts off at 10 bucks per phone for 0 to 10 or 10 to 20. The next is 14 per phone etc...
