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.

Yes, I'm sure a multibillion dollar company uses these clearance "deals" as a marketing strategy to attract some of the most frugal/ stingy clientele. They created this account 8 years ago just so one day they could post clearance iphone X's to get more foot traffic.
Yes, makes sense now.

WALMART posts these YMMV B&M deals, only to attract you to shop there. Because if you can't find things you need, you are going to buy something anyways. It is their gimmick.
Too bad walmart I bought some stuff at a competitor, might have bought some stuff at walmart inst

Data point: I used a very old At&T prepaid sim to boot the Iphone-XS and requested unlock via At&T portal as a guest. The phone got unlocked within a minute. Thank you OP!
Was your AT&T prepaid sim active with ATT service when booting the XS?

went to two Walmart north of Boston. One got everything sold out. The other one insists that I need to sign up with a carrier so that I can get an iphone xs 64GB for 49 dollars. Frown
No go.

Holy Grail of Walmart clearance deals. Congrats to those who were able to get it, and a moment of silence for all those who died trying. I'm just gonna sit this one out.

My wife called several stores in the North Dallas suburbs and all were sold out. I wish I had seen this deal sooner.

Ever hear of psychological conditioning? This is precisely how big business sales think.
What part of their plan included pissing off customers not finding what they wanted or customers demanding to speak to managers?

I too was skeptical, but obtaining the cheaper xs model was surprisingly easy.
