Does this have any particular relevance for the Affinity software?
Looks more like ‘click bait’ to me (or whatever the current/correct phrase is).
(I haven’t watched the video so maybe I’m wrong.)

Well, all Affinity apps or on iPad too, as you know. So, this is just an info for potential new buyers of iPad M2 to decide whether to buy it or not.

Apple announced exiting new pencil feature: hover over before touching. This would allow Affinity to add the missing feature of brush preview.

I assume this is technically unrelated to M2 cpu, but is only made available by Apple on new iPads, which will use M2.

Special interest into procedural texture filter, edit alpha channel, RGB/16 and RGB/32 color formats, stacking, finding root causes for misbehaving files, finding creative solutions for unsolvable tasks, finding bugs in Apps.

I use iPad screenshots and videos even in the Desktop section of the forum when I expect no relevant difference.

Doesn't the guy of that video shown above (at around ~6:35) just claimed that this hovering feature is basically something which was/has been already there for a decade and now is just only a software based specific switch/addition?

☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan
☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2

Of course. This has been practice in IT since decades. I think IBM was famous for delivering mainframes fully loaded with RAM and you need only to purchase a key to activate it. 
 

I remember a coffee dispenser at Airbus Toulouse factory which had a touch sensor with (unintentional) proximity functionality in 2001. When you hovered by accident 3cm above the “add sugar” button, it fired a full load into the cup. I didn't like sugar.

Today many manufacturers are really embracing this idea, especially when combined with subscriptions. Tesla has been doing it for a while, and BMW has now jumped on board. I'm surprised Apple didn't offer this as a paid upgrade to existing compatible iPad owners.
