I plan to buy it outright without a carrier, and although it's not 100% confirmed I've read some news sources that claim so.
Should go live tomorrow 9/17/21 at 8AM Eastern.

You will never see a $100 cut on iPhone pre order day.
It's alway full price when bought without a carrier.
Correct. Best Buy's $100 off seems to be the better deal. Of course, carrier activation fees come in to play as well. Doesn't hurt to try and get them waived though
It looks like best buy's $100 off is only for new accounts or new lines :/
i so want to do the same. I hope walmart doesn't require activation. I want to buy it outright and just use my sim with my prepaid ATT
Me too.

WALMART If you want to skip being locked into a carrier in the first place, going with the iPhone 13 Pro Max from this retailer is hard to beat. It's one of the few offering upfront savings as opposed to credits on your monthly bill, too.
I would wait till Costco announces their deals but downside is I believe they don't sell you unlocked and outright. The upside is they don't charge you for a new sim and will incl Costco GCs
This walmart one SEEMS like a good deal at first but the two cons are they are not waiving activation fee like getting straight from carriers would usually AND these seem to be 30 month contracts if you do the match on the payments they show. So probably has to be those specific contracts.

No I'm going to buy it outright upfront, my hope is that either walmart or bestbuy allow a non-carrier purchase and the discount.
Then just do a sim swap. I'm already on verizon with a paid-for iphone.

There's no "terms" listed on walmart site, but I'm sure things will be clarified tomorrow.
