Hover with the Apple Pen
The Apple Pencil hover feature shows you exactly where the Apple Pencil will touch on your screen. Thus, you can write, draw, and add explanations with greater precision. With this feature, you'll see apps and widgets expand on the Home screen as you move your Apple Pencil over them, preview what you want to do before you do it, and see how your watercolors blend before you paint with them. Hover makes everything you do with your Apple Pencil easier.*

This feature works with Apple Pencil (3rd generation) and Apple Pencil (USB-C) when using an iPad Pro 12.9-inch (6th generation) or iPad Pro 11-inch (4th generation)
