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.

Perfect. Not sure why you asked then. Looks like ATT or T-Mo are options for unlock.
I think you misinterpreted my question (maybe because I worded it poorly). TMO seems the easiest to unlock, whether you are a customer of theirs or not.

It may be now. In my previous experience with Reseller Flex, ATT was quick and painless and all done within minutes online without contacting anyone.

no there wont be any number in email but when you reserve the device you should get a confirmation number take photo or screenshot of that (its no use but you can show that with the email)
you ahoild talk with multiple walmart employee's including manager ifnpossible and let them know you reserved a phone to be paid and pickedup or go staright to that mobile guy with a black shirt(thats what walmart employee told me)
i went in monring around 10am and after lot of discusson with walmart employee they said to come back at 1pm(thats when the mobile guy with black shirt will come) and when i went they simply just scanned the device took a printout and scanned the barcode from the printout

How does the buying process go? Do they just ring it up or they have to use the sprint/tmo/att account? Do they have to go through wrap?

after you reserve you will get the confirmation number on the same page(window),i travelled an hour to the store from tx to lousiana.
if you reserved it then the store has it(whether you have confirmation number or not),its just that you need to explain to each and every wallmart employee at electronics store and see who can help you

The reservation is pointless they don't even know what it is when you go there
