Whether the entire universe (observable + unobservable) is finite depends on its curvature. A positive curvature indicates a closed finite universe.

By measuring the angular sizes of anisotropic structures in the power spectrum of the CMB obtained by the Planck probe indicates the universe has a zero curvature and is therefore flat and probably infinite in size.

You're wrong, the question is 'the size of the universe' no qualification, of observable or unobservable.
