Alphabet?!

Sorry, I didn't know where to post this. I was at abc.xyz and I decided to go through the source code of the site because - Easter eggs!

But I saw some links saying :-

<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="57x57" href="apple-touch-icon-57x57.png">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="60x60" href="apple-touch-icon-60x60.png">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="72x72" href="apple-touch-icon-72x72.png">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="76x76" href="apple-touch-icon-76x76.png">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="114x114" href="apple-touch-icon-114x114.png">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="120x120" href="apple-touch-icon-120x120.png">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="144x144" href="apple-touch-icon-144x144.png">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="152x152" href="apple-touch-icon-152x152.png">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="apple-touch-icon-180x180.png">

And the "apple-touch-icon" is the "A" for Alphabet png file . I was wondering why it's called "apple-touch-icon"

Also the "android-chrome" and "favicon"(code below) are the same "A".

<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="favicon-32x32.png" sizes="32x32">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="favicon-194x194.png" sizes="194x194">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="favicon-96x96.png" sizes="96x96">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="android-chrome-192x192.png" sizes="192x192">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="favicon-16x16.png" sizes="16x16">

Me = confused. Check out the source for yourself and if anyone know why it is like this, then an answer would be appreciated.
