@gnomad1618 We have designed the theme that way, not to show the featured text for ipad, iphone and other similar small devices.
In the iPhone if you show the featured text it may go beyond the slider area so this might be a issue, however you can use the following custom css to show the featured text in ipad.
In the dashboard, go to Appearance->Theme Options->Design Options Tab->Custom CSS and click on ‘Save all Changes’.

@media only screen and (max-width: 1078px) {
	.featured-title,
	.featured-content {
	display: block;
	}
}
@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {
	.featured-title,
	.featured-content {
	display: none;
	}
}

If you want to show the featured text in iphone, using the rev slider will be best.
