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.

EVEN If Apple phones are overpriced (which they are), getting the ones in this threda for $199 make it a steal! Imagine a 512GB iphone XS Max for $199. When it came out it was $1,499. Even after accounting for depreciation, a brand new 6.5 inch phone with 100% battery is worth a whole lot more than $199.
VCRs were $1499 when they came out too... Lol I'd still spend my $200 on something better but to each their own

Scored one - Thanks OP! After visiting one Walmart with none available I went back online and noticed a small link on the top of the page to find in store. I found and reserved one XS Max 64GB at another Walmart and headed over. After I made the reservation I thought about adding another but it was listed as unavailable so I think it was the last one. Went to the electronics area and asked if they had any XS Max phones before telling them about my reservation. The employee said that they had XS Max 64GB silver but Walmart contracted with a company and could not sell it without a plan. I pointed to the sign referenced in this thread about being paid in full and the employee acknowledged and said he had to call the manager. Was expecting an argument but the manager said to just sell it to me. No WARP system, just rang it up at $199 plus tax. They said they did not want/need my reservation number so as others have mentioned reservations are useless. I have activated and confirm it is not carrier locked - it says in settings "No SIM restrictions". Note that it does list "Coverage Expired" in settings so I will have to call Apple support to give them the correct purchase date and proof. I am positive it was new as the plastic was still on the box.
I could find in stores near 06106. But i see AT&t and Verizon to choose to Reserve. How do i reserve it unlocked

So what are you waiting for? If you ever needed an excuse to switch from android to Apple, this is it!
On my way to a Walmart. But if I don't get one at that price, I would probably hate on the brand and the store even more.

Can you give us the print so we can use that as proof when going to Walmart?
Someone posted a sign from Walmart stating such. Also it's posted similarly here.L down at the bottom.

However the manager and OSL completely ignored it.

Corporate said they can't override what a manager says. I called them and so did others.

Buy as many as you can get and max out on your credit card. You could easily make $10K profit on resale assuming you find adequate supply. Finally, you will be a capitalist. Think of it as a reward for a new President whom the Republicans label a socialist but whose actions help you get $199 phones.

I don't see it in the link. Can you copy and paste the specific text?

I don't see anything like what you're referencing on that page. I have expanded all of the tabs. Where in this thread did you see a 'sign' that helps our case? Thanks!

Are your placing the cart (no pun intended) before the horse? Don't you have to find stock first?

I asked the exact same question as you, genius. Why must you post ten times per page?
