It is extremely simple to remove the gloss from your site’s apple touch icon. In fact, it is so simple that it can be done in one line of code. Between your head tags, add this line of code to your pages.
<link rel="apple-touch-icon-precomposed" href="YOURICON.png">

Does this affect both iPhone and iPod Touch?
@Jake Moore Yes it will!
Wow, thank you so much! I never knew this was possible, and it is quite useful.
Glad it could help!
Is there a way to delete the gloss right on the iPhone?
Forgive me, but I have no idea what this is about, but it seems to be well-known among many people.
And why are the traffic lights in the wrong order?
