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.

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.

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.
