Never, of course. But it is not uncommon these days for Apple users to not actually know the difference between MacOS and iOS, or to just accidentally post something in a forum without checking its product category or the date when the thread ended.

You will need a suitable font.

Apple provides an Amharic font Kefa with OS X, so reading is already possible. For example try this page:

To write you will need to install a keyboard layout. This article has a link:

PS I forgot that Apple's Amharic font only comes with 10.7 and later. If you do not have it, you will need to get another one from the links provide by Roger and myself.

There are plenty of App's available available for Ethiopic (Amharic) to be used on iOS.
