YMMV: Apple iPhone XS and XS Max Clearance in-store (all capacities/models) for $199

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?

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.
I have confirmed that T-Mobile works with at least one phone. I will let my wife try the other phone when she's free.

Just put in an ATT SIM when you activate the phone with Apple. It doesn't have to be an active SIM.

Had a reservation and the Troc guy saw the price and started making up excuses. Told him I was already successful at another store. He wouldn't budge they had 7 on hand and the more I pleaded my case the less he had. By the time I gave up he only had 1 left, but that was reserved 3 days ago.

Lies upon lies was very frustrating.

Full price without activation these are not assigned to any carrier. They are likely Flex Reseller, which will lock to first provider when activated. ATT has been easy in the past regarding full price phones that are not on contract/finance in their system. It used to be use a Verizon SIM, but they hold it hostage for 60 days after activation now.
