PointerStyle is an API in SwiftUI that allows developers to customize the appearance and visibility of the system pointer. This is particularly useful for enhancing pointer interactions across various devices. For example, you can apply a specific pointer style when resizing a frame, ensuring that the pointer's appearance changes appropriately to indicate the resize action.
