Ok, please send your ipad to concrete5 and we'll test it ;-) I imagine the testing will take a while...
If you're not up for that, you may want to check and see if tinymce on it's own works outside of concrete5, if it doesn't try submitting a bug report to them...
In version 5.4.1 tinymce detecst the iPad safari browser and shows the html source. But Concrete5.4.1 shows a very small text field so it's not able to work.
