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.

2 upvotes instead of 100 so looks like upvoters (+102) are 2 more than the resellers (-100) that downvoted to corner stock

Seems the only way to find out if the phone is under US FLEX POLICY is to get a report from eBay?
Call Apple and they will give you the status for free.

One question, if I have a us reseller flex policy iphone and I have been using att prepaid for years. Can I activate the phone using att prepaid sim , then request att to unlock it ? I know att postpaid can do it but not sure about pepaid.
I think they give you like a 48 hour window to do it but you should research online. My recommendation is to buy it while you can and figure things out later.

I reserved 4. However only 2 were here available. No one knew what the hell I was talking about. The cell guy said the phones were 249. Proved him wrong twice
How did you prove him wrong, twice?

Holy Connolly; probably a $2,000 profit for you in one shot! Don't forget to give the OP an upvote. His thread has unfortunately been hammered when it should be frontpage?

Taking a shot here- If anyone finds any version of S9 (s9, s9plus, note9 on SPRINT) for $24 (i need two total- doesnt have to be same model, just a 9series), ill pay double (plus shipping to me).
Im trying to use em for trade-in deals.. none available in NY as far as ive checked.

You're offering to give someone $50 in exchange for them giving you $250? Now that would be slick Wink

Damn, watching this thread go from -

Stopped in for my Xs Max reservation, which was the only thing available. Store actually had more Max's than I could count in every color/capacity, as well as a couple regular Xs's. Walked out with two 512GB Max's without a hassle, other than the employees having to remember how to sell it.

What's the best reputable eBay seller for GSX info?
Can I ask which carrier did you choose when doing the online reservation ?

Thank you to OP. Was able to get 2 64G XS Max phones for my family. Upgrading their phones from the 6S. They are very excited. I happened to meet a fellow slickdealer that came to pick up his reserved phone when I was wrapping up my purchase.

Walmart employees had no clue what they were doing. Electronics employee called a manager over, who then referred another manager over. They kept looking at me like I had 2 heads when I told them I had reservations for 2 phones. They couldn't figure out how to upgrade me on my cell phone plan, so they just sold it to me outright and I will activate myself.

Husband was very skeptical I would be able to pull this deal off. Happy to prove him wrong, LOL.woot
