After you create an account, you can immediately perform an upload by editing a page and then clicking on the upload icon. In theory the upload icon should only be displayed to autoconfirmed users.
Prioritization and scheduling of this bug is tracked on Trello card https://trello.com/c/xDdjbp0x

Maybe we should think about to check permission to upload in PhotoApi.js, too?
@Ryan: when will this be live?

> when will this be live? In actual status: on Commons with release of MW1.24wmf15, which will be deployed on at July, 29 2014. Maybe earlier if it will be deployed out of MW deployment, see: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/SWAT_deploys.
@Lupo: I put it on the SWAT schedule so it should go out to Commons by the end of today.
Cool, thanks!

Just a little feedback. This fix has been live now for three days. It has further reduced newbie uploads through Mobile/Web by another 40-50% (compared to the July 10 first attempt at "autoconfirmed only"). Before Juy 24, we had about 80-90 (weekdays) to more than 100 (weekend) uploads, with roughtly 7-10% useful ones. Since July 24, when this went live, we have about 50 (weekdays) to 60 (weekend) newbie uploads, of which between 10-20% are useful. Yes, I know three days is awfully short, and meaningful statistics cannot be gathered in such a short time. But the effect is very noticeable, especially regarding the volume. Statistics are at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Forum#A_propos_.22mobile_upload.22
Glad to hear it @Lupo!
