The interesting bit here is the apple-touch-icon which is used if you save a bookmark to your home screen on an apple touch device such as an iPad or iPhone. Interestingly enough, android also supports its usage. The apple-touch-icon default size is 57px by 57px. As the comment says, if your icons are in the root of your domain, these links aren’t required.</p> Thu, 02 Dec 2010 19:13:55 UTC https://snipplr.com/view/45159/favicon-and-apple-icons
