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.

It's been for sale at least a week, chance of find it is slim, if you can find one, lucky you! Stoped 3 SoCal Walmart's all sold out at least a week. ( all 3 stores employees knew about the sales when I asked if have in stock. )

I found and reserved one in Chattanooga, went there and the ocp lady wouldn't give it to me. Told her to go on warp and sell it outright, device only. She said her boss told them not to do this and had disabled the option.

Quote from prak903 :
DP: made a reservation yesterday, picked up today. Dude was chill, rang it up on WARP even without me saying anything except "purchase outright". Said there were two more but he could only ring up one today, gonna go back tomorrow to see if I can grab those. Reservations DO work, he looked up my name without me giving it to him.

Step-by-Step:

Went to electronics, said I had a reservation to PICK UP a phone I reserved online, they said go to pickup in front of store. (insist it says go to electronics)
Showed the Electronics Team Lead the e-mail I had, he went over to the WARP computer and looked up my resevation "said my name".
He went to the back and grabbed the phone.
Started putting in all info into WARP (IMEI, serial, etc.) and asked me for my carrier and zip. Gave it to him.
He got a printout with the order info and then a barcode as well.
Scanned barcode at POS to bring up $199 price for Xs Max.

All in all a very easy process (at least at my store). Thanks OP.
reservation through link in the wiki ?

Only difference is screen size and battery size and ymmv(possibly max unlocked vs flex policy on xs)

Dont waste your time in Richmond, Va with this deal. Went to Midlothian location to be told I had to sign up for a wireless plan. Escalated to a manager named David, who said he didn't care if other Walmarts were selling the phones outright, that he nor any other managers there would override the system to sell them to me.

Needless to say, called corporate to file a complaint, Tyler says its up to the store managers to honor these deals, they have the right to set limitations with wireless plans.
I saw there was one in the forest avenue location. I made a reservation for a 64gb xs but don't have time to go check it out.

Thanks OP, bought 2 XS MAX 64 GB. Didn't reserve it & went to nearest store & asked CSR to check. They had 4, bought 2 & left 2 for another slickdealer 😀. He did have to go through WARP but I did not have to give any of my details and just bought it outright.

That's kind of what I was thinking.
