Hi, I am the one who reported this issue to Telerik.
This issue might be caused by that Safari 13 enables desktop mode viewing by default. See the release note - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safari_release_notes/safari_13_release_notes

Added Desktop-class Browsing to Safari for iPad. Safari for iPad displays the same desktop websites as Safari for macOS, and provides the same capabilities. In addition it has more keyboard shortcuts, a download manager with background downloads, and support for top productivity websites."

And Kendo UI expects mouse event, since the user agent becomes a desktop browser. But in reality, Safari on iPad would never emit any mouse events.

Hopefully this helps.
