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

$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.

Touched a raw nerve didn't I? Just like your leader who is notoriously thin-skinned. By the way, he is in Putin's pocket so at least have a little respect for me.
Not at all and thanks for proving my point

One of the stores called they said it had to be carrier tied and I couldn't buy the phone at that price without a contract. This seems.to good of a deal to be true

Did you give credit to the Original Poster. Maybe give him a thumbs up to offset the downvotes by resellers?
Just did, and thank you for reminding me to do so. Sadly, he's now at a neutral 0...which is ridiculous. Should be like +100

the Chase Sapphire Reserve doubles the 1 year factory warranty to two. 100% confirmed. Too bad someone who has a credit card is unaware of its benefits! Buy yes, you screwed yourself over by buying a warranty that duplicates what you get for free.
So a few things here:

A) You are correct, the Sapphire Reserve does have built in warranty extension. Discover does not, and the Mastercard I have does not

B) The manager would not ring all 3 up in one transaction, she made me do 3 separate transactions, so I was only able to use my Sapphire Reserve for one of the transactions. I used two other cards for the others.

C) Like I was trying to state, me buying the warranty was a bit of a "thank you" to the staff for not giving me a hard time and working with me for about 2 hours trying to get the WARP thing to work. Granted, I wasted my money on the 1 warranty due to Chase having it, but I don't mind that much. I still got a heck of a deal with very little hassle. I'm not trying to flip these, so I'm not that concerned about wasting the $50.

D) The extended warranty I DID buy covers breakage, whereas the manufacturer's does not.

Guy called me after I reserved online and said I can buy phone outright OR with financing, but will need to activate on a carrier. YMMV--good luck.

He needs to start a thread about free bagel at Safeway - it will be on the front page.

Thank you guys! Reservation worked! Got my brother a new XS Max 64GB and my lady friend a new XS 256GB. SO AMAZING!!!
How do you make a "reservation" for these XS' if they don't show up in inventory. Is there a number to call?

I still don't understand why you didn't ring up 3 separate transactions on your Chase sapphire Reserve.

What sim did you first insert? If sold under US Flex policy, it will lock to first SIM.
