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.

My experience today:

Bought (5) XS Max 64gb at $199 and (1) X 256gb at $99 all from the same store. Didn't activate to or sign up for any carrier but told them AT&T because they said they had to put something in for the carrier.

I have Mint Mobile. From what I'm gathering, if I put in a Mint SIM card I'm now locked to mint? Or do I have to insert an AT&T SIM and then go through the unlock process first? Or am I in the clear to sell off the extras that family members don't claim as "unlocked?"
Hey, I think you have to unlock those devices to use with Mint. Can you let me know where you got these from. I live in bay area and would like to know if you got them around here? Thanks

True, I got 2 and there's more. He said he could only sell 2 per day. Probably BS also but I'll cancel Sprint and make sure I don't pay the activation fee. I believe in order to get a commission they plans have to be active for 30 days. I wouldn't believe everything everyone says I myself don't anyway. Mine is on Sprint so a Mint Mobile SIM works in it so guessing all T-Mobile and Sprint MVNOs will work. I need it for ATT though, ugh all I wanted was a 256 for myself but the store that has my reservation she claimed she knew nothing about it. B probably kept it for herself
any chance that you got these phones around bay area? If yes, please let me know which store. that would be really helpful. thanks

I scored one but did have to talk to three people. I also scored a Pixel as well. This deal is legit.
How much is the Pixel?

hmm, I talked to a couple of Walmart workers in my area and they didn't know much about the XS maxs on sale.

Worked for me. The rep there kept trying to tell me there wasn't an option to buy retail but I lamented that I couldn't drive all the way to the nearest Apple store. He finally said he couldn't do it but the store employees could. I bought accessories from him while the regular employees rang out the phones. I got 3 xs max and 1 xs for $700 bucks. Definitely a big upgrade from our 8 plus and with no contract I got to keep our line item discounts. Also, I'm on a family business account and he stated he couldn't do business accounts if that helps. Did not have to disclose phone numbers or any other info. Bought Verizon versions.

Has anyone had any luck in Houston, TX? I've been to over 7 Walmart's with absolutely no luck. Website shows all have no stock and therefore doesn't let me make any reservations. Tips would be much appreciated!
What part of Houston have you already checked?

Same issue, my store flat out said he had no idea how to sell a phone and they (the mobile people) handle all of that. Had no idea what WARP was or stood for. Said hes not allowed to sell phones without the mobile people at the store? What a waste of time Frown called a manager over but was told the same, had never heard of warp and said she couldnt sell phones? I asked her if I just wanted to buy a phone, no contract, could that be done. She said no, never, they must be sold with contracts and there was no way to sell them otherwise. When I responded saying that walmart.com clearly indicates you can buy a phone without contract, she said I'd have to ask the mobile people when they are at work then. -_-, so stupid. Tried 2 stores but same result. Sounds like if I dont get some electronics savant that feels like working I'm stuck. I reserved 1 at a nearby walmart to try again tomorrow, not holding my breath though.
The contract with the 3rd party sellers in Walmart ends on 1/31 so they better get to figuring it out!!
There's a post on here that gives specific instructions on how to get them to check out through warp, I provided that to someone that "knew" what he was doing. One guy was impressed with what I knew and said, whoaaa did you just google that? 😆
