Hi there! I've searched how I could add favicon at my website on Next.js 13 and found out this link: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/app-icons
It's not clear to me though what's the difference between favicon, icon and apple-icon. Can someone explain to me, please? Thanks!

this article explains the differences of the icons very well: https://evilmartians.com/chronicles/how-to-favicon-in-2021-six-files-that-fit-most-needs
basically each icon is used by a different platform (old browsers, Apple devices, Android devices, etc)
