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.

So serious question. I was going to upgrade my iPhone XR and my wife's iPhone 8 and son's iPhone 7 anyway.

I have 3 XS Max's on reserve. What is the downside of going ahead and activating them if it saves hassle? I figure I can always get a decent trade in on the XS's in a few months.

Of course, outright purchase would be preferable so I have more options. But what do you guys think? It seems to be a hassle dealing with the warp thing.

Can the phone be activated on an AT&T prepaid account as an upgrade to an existing phone if the manager refuses to sell outright? Or does it have to be a postpaid account?

Yeah, that's the first sim I put it and it carrier locked. I just got off the phone with a customer service representative and they're removing it, says typically takes 24-48 hours. FYI, if you have to do this, give them the IMEI2 number if you're calling T-Mobile. The IMEI/MEID is not what they need.

EDIT: They came back stating that they cannot remove the lock because it's not showing up in their tools. If you want your phone unlocked, do NOT plug your T-Mobile Sim into the device.
what did walmart scanned it with? i used sprint one with tmobile and it locked to tmobile.

I placed a reservation last night and went into the store and they said they don't carry the XS or XS Max... Do you think they're lying?

For the first time ever, I actually found a clearance item at WM. I wanted an XS instead of an XS max but for $199 I am not complaining even though this is a 2 year old phone.
