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.

fake news
You will never see a $100 cut on iPhone pre order day.
It's alway full price when bought without a carrier.
i mean... it wasn't exactly a secret that the 13's were on the way.
doesn't change that it sucks and that if you want to have the newest phones you're out around $1k even for non-pro. lol. At least I don't have to have an unlucky 13, though.
I got my iPhone SE2 through Walmart. And even a year later the deals on that phone are 5$ cheaper than what I'm paying a month. Still a cheap price for the phone and I'm happy. Hopefully they come out with a SE3 that has Touch ID but a full body screen for 400$. That would be the perfect iPhone
What was the deal with visible ? Did u get it pretty much right after release
I think it was around October- Nov. Iphone 12 pro 128 GB unlocked with 150$ master card and headphone I sold for 130$. Caveat was I had to port-in a number and pay Visible for two months.
Not sure if they'd do it again. Became a hot deal last year.
because i'm planning on getting mine carrier free, i am hoping it holds true but we probably won't know till it goes live.
I unfortunately believe everyone will be disappointed. I have not seen any retailer other than Apple itself, sell a sim free unlocked phone without carrier activation for a very long time. This wasn't always the case, but it certainly has been recently. There were some years where you couldn't even order it sim free unlocked without a carrier directly from Apple!
I'm fairly confident this will only be available with the "up to $100 off" when you buy the phone outright with activation on AT&T or Verizon. I will definitely be checking the site in the morning, but I foresee me going through with my Apple preorder I have ready.

here, https://9to5mac.com/2021/09/15/ip...der-deals/, they say it can but i'm curious how walmart is making money if not through carrier kickbacks.
