Kind of surprised by how ugly the pro looks. I can deal with wide the "plateau", but that cutout looks bad. If I were to buy one it'd be the first phone I keep in a case.

Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. I rather like this look and design.

I always keep my phone in a case because I’m a coward but I would not want to hide this.

What is the cutout for? Just aesthetics?

I think it's because of the wireless charging. I.e.: as to not have aluminium in from of the MagSafe coil
