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.

For the most part, if you are in a major city, the reservations will show none available and at this point, most stores are sold out or the associates unwilling (or unable - no clue how to operate WARP) to sell them. For those with active reservations, call to find out if the associate knows how to operate WARP. I had an active reservation and went to pick-up - the associates claimed not selling contract phones only prepaid phones, and no idea how to operate WARP. The next day, I called the store to find someone who knew how to operate WARP. I found one - then asked for help with my reservations. Success.

Good luck.
Thanks for the information, but is the way to find out if they are taking reservations to just make a store, "my store", and see if it is reservable? I just don't want to do that for a bunch of rural stores to only find out later that isn't the way to do it. Thanks

Yep was able to get 3 in SoCal at different stores. For sure people got it, because I saw their names on the reservation list at one store. They only let me get 1 phone each store though. At Torrance on Hawthrone someone already bought 3 yesterday, despite the fact that I had a reservation. So if y'all really want it, go into stores to find it now. Seems like reservations don't really mean anything, especially if the associates don't know about it.
Nice to see some success in Souther Cal will check my local store to see if they have any

Bought a phone that is locked to us reseller flex policy.
Just tried to resell and the person refused to purchase. It was an open box when I got it. Anyone know how to unlock it so I can successful resell
If it's a us reseller flex policy then 1) put att sim to make it an att locked iphone 2) unlock through https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/

That works for me.

Anyone have experience getting an OSL employee to sell the phone without contract? I had success with a walmart employee but going to try OSL in a little bit.

Looks like they finally took out the reservation portal from the website. I can no longer get to the page where I can enter in a zip. Maybe stock exhaustion?

I couldn't find any real good answer to that. Ended up ordering a $3 universal AT&T sim off eBay. Hopefully it's the correct one since they seem to be either just prepaid or pre and postpaid (the orange and white one). ATT doesn't seem to just sell sim kits anywhere except for prepaid.

So what's the general consensus on reservations....I made one last night, is it worth driving a half hour to see if they actually have it? Does the reservation actually save it?
Do it!!! You just wasted time asking, if you were able to make reservation they got it. I was able to get three. Better yet give me your zip code and I'll go to that store as you!!

My store would not sell one without activating on ATT. Otherwise the outright purchase is $499. Waste of time.

I might give this a try as I have one more reservation to check tonight for the model I've been trying to get, but it's a little further away, so it would be nice to know if it's even worth the trip.
