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.

In store only lol
I know. what I mean is it's not showing up for people to reserve it before they going to the store. I am hour and half drive away. I don't want waste time to go there and being told it just sold to someone else.

Website, search for iphone xs, it will say out of stock, click on it and there will be a link for in store, click on it and enter your zip, it will let you search for availability and reserve if available.
searching iphone xs shows hundreds of results with regular prices. am I missing anything ?

So, I just went to my walmart. They had a XS Max and a XS.

The XS Max I reserved, but they couldn't check it out because there was a reservation for it (me, duh). Cellular dept. staff was not there, so it was just an electronics lady who couldn't get past it.

The XS did not have a reservation, but I had the lady just ring it up at a regular register and it rang up at $399.99. What?? Does the price go down after they do the WARP thing?

Probably going to head back tomorrow to talk with the cellular staff. Any input on this is appreciated. They are holding the XS Max for me.

There are xs max phones out there that ring up $499 and xs phones that ring up $399. Those are not the phones you are looking for as those are not postpaid carrier. Those are just unlocked I believe. Warp rings $199 and $99 for carrier postpaid device only

huge help. Thanks. Any idea how to find the postpaid carrier ones without just going in and asking them to scan?

No prob. Don't know of any way because brick seek is not working for these and only way is to ask them to pull inventory while at the store and physically scan in warp for price or reserve online. They can also see their inventory for $199 and $99 in the warp system before pulling out of the back but you never know if they are lying to you because they know the price already instead of being surprised when they actually process a transaction and see the price, then call their friends but you'll already have yours then so chances are better if you ask them to physically pull so you can see with your own eyes when they scan it and then snatch it

I checked the only local Walmart for me and two young guys were working and when I asked for the iPhone xs or xs max, he went and asked the other guy, who pointed to a paper on their counter behind the register and then the first guys comes back and says sorry we don't have any of those phones. Sounds pretty shady as I'm sure they're waiting to check them out after their shift is over..

Choose the right provider and plan for you

Selecting a wireless carrier is one of the first decisions that you have to make when you want a new phone. In some cases, this can also determine the selection of phones you can choose from. You can opt for a contract or no-contract carrier, or go for a cell phone with a pre-paid plan. A contract carrier offers various monthly plans that can include minutes, texts, and data. You generally have to enter into a 12- or 24-month contract. No-carrier contracts allow you to get service from a smaller carrier such as a mobile virtual network operator without the yoke of a two-year contract. If you're looking for a specific phone but don't want to be tied to one carrier, you can purchase an unlocked version that can work on various carriers. Finally, pay-as-you-go or pre-paid plans are the most flexible option, as you can avoid surprises on your bill by topping up on an as-needed basis. Various bundles and data packs are available via pay-as-you-go options with most carriers.
Thanks!

Wait, so the phone must be scanned post warp process to ring up at the sale price? The XS that she rang up was just at a normal register, did not attempt to go through the cellular register and do the warp thing.
