In an imaging app, such as Serif Affinity Photo, this manifests as a dot under the pen so you can see exactly where you're about to draw.

It’s a clever and useful feature, and it adjusts automatically if there’s more than one person in view. Optional accessories are available for the iPad Pro, and the two main highlights are the existing Apple Pencil 2 as well as a new version of the company’s Magic Keyboard.
