I think I started to see a lot more submissions with relatively low number of upvotes and even smaller number of comments on the front page.

10-20 is the normal threshold to make <i>the front page</i>, the past few days haven't exactly reflected this, due to large influx of Apple related posts.

Stories hit the frontpage when they have 3 upvotes, and sometimes stories get a second run at it.
