Favicons & Icons for Sites
Here is the code required to add icons on apple supported devices.
With Apple’s Reflective Shine:
< link rel=”apple-touch-icon” href=”somepath/image.png” / >
Without Apple’s Reflective Shine:
< link rel=”apple-touch-icon-precomposed” href=”somepath/image.png” / >
The recommended basic size for this icon is 57×57 pixels, with 90 degree corners; for best display on the higher-resolution iPhone 4 screen, an icon size of 114×114 pixels is recommended.[29][31][32]
For the iPad and iPad2, the basic size is 72×72 pixels with 90 degree corners. If the rumored next generation follows the same pattern as the iPhone and iPodTouch, the high-resolution size would be 144×144 pixels.[33]
