iPadOS 19 will introduce a virtual calligraphy pen for Apple Pencil owners to write digitally in Arabic script.
Another new feature in iPadOS 19 is an advanced bi-directional keyboard for easy transitioning between Arabic and English on iPhones and iPads.
Apple is expanding its retail presence in the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and India, leading to the development of region-specific features like the bi-directional keyboard and calligraphy pen.
Additionally, iPadOS 19 will include the addition of the virtual reed calligraphy pen to the Apple Pencil tool palette, drawing from Apple's historical connection to calligraphy.
