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

because you are adding an additional line and/or new service -- and it isn't prepaid...and that means (on most carriers) a credit check
you need to read the original post to understand what the deal is about which isn't what you stated which is based on just a user's experience (exception rather than the rule)

Looked everywhere, found one Walmart in a small town that had a reservation for one 64gb. Got there and they actually had 3 of them.

I owned one for over 2 years and loved every minute of it. Anecdotal evidence for the win!

Because of the crappy Intel modem, right?

I was wondering why their prices cratered online. Nobody wants a (formerly) $1,000 phone that can't get a cellular signal when a $150 Android can. Qualcomm > Intel.

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.
I'm not dead yet will let you know when I am

I've read every page of this thread, starting this morning. I have refreshed more times than I should have to see how things were progressing. It isn't 'one user's experience' that they are being told they can't sell them the phone without them adding a new line. That is the experience of 3/4 of the people in this thread. So, for the ones that were not sold the phone outright for $99/$199, I am asking if they had to sign a contract/run a credit check to establish new service and/or add a line.

Is it worth going late at night? Or only between those 11-7 hours just in case? I have one on reserve about 30 minutes away but am considering running out to my closest 2 stores now since they'll be much less people there.
Buy as many as you can. Sell those you don't need at a profit on ebay. You will make $1,000 profit for a night's work.

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.
Just curious, which store had them in stock and which carrier did they request you sign up with? Wonder if I could do it on my existing TMobile line.
