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.

Genuinely curious. What would you consider reasonable? Secondary market is at least 3x purchase price.
I got an offer for $900 for an XS and XS max on offer up. Ebay eats into too much profit!

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
The manager scanned the phone that I got for $199. It said $499 on the screen, I was like damn, I hope it doesn't ring up as that price when I saw it but kept my mouth shut and stayed patient. It wasn't until they rang it through warp that they said it was $199.

KC area says none in stock to reserve and that's fine by me I am not much of a fan of the apple phones. I was able to reserve 2 S10 plus 128 gig for 299 each. I don't know if its worth the hassle and my S 8 plus is still going strong. I guess I have 48 hours to decide.

First time I've ever gotten a Walmart ymmv deal !! AND the Walmart cashier knew exactly what she was doing; didn't have any trouble with signing up for new lines or needing manager approval...was able to get 2 XS Max 64gb in Colorado Springs! Thanks OP!
I never was able to get any of the Walmart ymmv deals as well. Can you tell me which Colorado Springs Walmart you purchased from? Thanks

I just got one for $199 today. Had the 3rd party vendor that is contracted by Walmart to work in the wireless phone area print a list of all his current iPhone inventory with the prices of each. Only the Verizon and AT&T versions of the iPhone XS and XS max were at the $199 price. The Pure Prepaid iPhone XS and XS Max phones were ringing up at $399 and up. So when you ask, ask specifically for the AT&T or Verizon versions of the phone. All storage sizes 64GB to 256GB were the same price for those versions. Also, he said technically they are supposed to sell the phones with a AT&T or Verizon contract, but I asked him to check if the system would let him sell me just the phone at that price and he said if it lets him he would. So you may need to be nice and tell them the system will allow you to sell it without a contract and hope they are as nice as my sales rep was. I took the Verizon version of the XS Max to a Xfinity store and they told me the phone was compatible with their network and already unlocked so was able to get by the gig service on it for only $15 a month after they updated iOS from 11 to 14 for me.

Already too late to grab one. Seems like these were on sale for a couple of months reading form the reddit post under T-mobile sub. All I found were a few Pixel 3a XL for 24.00 and a lot of Samsung A10s, A20s, Stylo5,6. I am gonna be eyeing those S10E and S10+ in the coming weeks hoping to snag them once they drop in price hopefully.

I went to the store today and talk to the wireless guy for 40 minutes. But he would not let me buy without upgrading or add a new line. However he said if purchased with activation the iPhone XS max will be about 150 paying with Verizon. He was nice but at the end I went home empty handed.
True if upgraded it is $150. See post below.
