Got me to knock around on some calculations on the X+, this was all very quick, so pardon any spurious math(s)
The X uses a 375 point @ 3x width (1125 pixels), same as the 6/7/8 flavors - combined with 812 points @ 3x height, resulting in 2436 px. That resolution also results in the 19.5:9 aspect ratio.
Those are existing data points that we know. I started working backwards, first, let's say the same logic was used, i.e., start with an existing point width, like the Plus with 414 points.
414 @ 3x rendered pixels is 1242, the same as the internal representation of the Plus (without derailing this too much, only the Plus models do a downsampling of the rendered pixels to a different physical size).
Anyway, 1242 px wide for our X+. I think this makes a ton of sense from a developer's perspective as well, just like the X didn't introduce a new target width, neither will the X+.
Then use the same aspect ratio of the X to determine the height, that would be an 896 point height, that would render @ 3x to 2688 pixels.
So we have a 2688 x 1242 X+ so far. That's about 456 PPI on a 6.5 diagonal.
Now, this is a little bit of logical slight-of-hand but I took the physical size of the X, and scaled that up using the ratio of physical width to pixel width and physical height to pixel height.
That would make the X+ ~3.08" x ~6.23". See where this is going? An existing Plus is documented at 3.07 x 6.24" Guess what? If you take a Plus model (at least my 6S, I think the 8 is a _tiny_ bit larger dimensions), and measure it, corner to corner, like it had an edge-to-edge display it's right at about 6.5"
So there you go, the 6.5" X+, will be 2688 x 1242 (896 x 414 points), with a physical dimension that's very close the existing Plus models. I think it will wind up being a touch narrower since there's a little more side bezels on the non-OLED design, maybe 6.23" x 2.90-93" [?]
