You're not missing anything: The difference is one simple thing. If you set
up your email account on an iPhone with anything OTHER than "Other" you
don't even get the prompt. If you use "Other" then you get a prompt which
everyone seems to click, and they get owned.

Quoted from the article:

"So what happens then is you, the user of the iPhone, will connect to
AT&T wifi, and when you check your mail a little popup message will
appear. It will offer you the option to "Continue". If you click that
very natural button, SILICA will steal your password."

So how is this different from any other WiFi AP impersonation (apart
from the users not understanding what they are doing and clicking
accept/continue)?

Or I'm missing something here ...?

Cheers,

Bojan
