The rumours started from Chinese site WPDang, but have not yet been corroborated by any other sources, leading to suspicion within the gaming community.

I wonder how small it will be
It says about a third of the size. Almost seems impossible unless they do away with the optical drive altogether.
if it’s a third of the size so that would make it a little bigger than a nintendo wii, but xbox one currently uses its current size to provide the best possible cooling at a reduced price so the mini would also end up more expensive because of the extra cooling it would need, so i’ll be taking a “i’ll believe it when i see it” possition as i don’t know if it would even run the current games without overheating.
Sounds like the rumor is a giant fat lie as the Xbox One games themselves are using blue-ray technology for that 50GB disc space.
