Olixar is back. The popular case maker, with a remarkable track record of smartphone leaks, has updated information on Apple AAPL -0.13%’s major iPhone refresh and it sings a very different tune…

Having repeatedly claimed Apple would produce a 'mini iPhone X' no larger than the iPhone SE (and produced the schematics to prove it), Olixar says new sources have confirmed Apple’s new models will instead be the largest iPhones it has ever made. In fact, Olixar is so confident in this information it has started production on its official line of accessories.

So what do we learn?

The circa 5-inch mini marvel is toast. Instead, the 5.8-inch iPhone X will be complemented by a 6.1-inch budget-friendly iPhone X and 6.5-inch iPhone X Plus. This backs multiple leaks, including my exclusive last month that Apple had decided to drop plans for the so-called iPhone X Mini.

It also ties in with the leaked iPhone schematics I obtained last week which broke down the sizes of the new, enlarged iPhones in comparison to the iPhone X:

・iPhone X - 143.6 x 70.9 mm (5.65 x 2.79-inches)
・‘Budget’ iPhone X - 147.12 x 71.52 mm (5.79 x 2.81-inches)
・iPhone X Plus - 157.2 x 77.1 mm (6.18 x 3.03-inches)
