- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {

    if (news.count == 0) {
        return 0;
    } else {
        return news.count +  1 ;
    }
}

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    @try {

        uint position = (uint) (indexPath.row);
        NSUInteger row = [indexPath row];
        NSUInteger count = [news count];

        //show Load More
        if (row == count) {
            UITableViewCell *cell = nil;

            static NSString *LoadMoreId = @"LoadMore";
            cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:LoadMoreId];
            if (cell == nil) {
                cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc]
                        initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault
                      reuseIdentifier:LoadMoreId];
            }
            if (!hasMoreLoad) {
                cell.hidden = true;
            } else {

                cell.textLabel.text = @"Load more items...";
                cell.textLabel.textColor = [UIColor blueColor];
                cell.textLabel.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:14];
                NSLog(@"Load more");
                if (!isMoreLoaded) {
                    isMoreLoaded = true;
                    [self performSelector:@selector(loadMoreNews) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.1];
                }
            }

            return cell;

        } else {
            NewsRow *cell = nil;

            NewsObject *newsObject = news[position];
            static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"NewsRow";
            cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];

            if (cell == nil) {
                // Load the top-level objects from the custom cell XIB.
                NSArray *topLevelObjects = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:CellIdentifier owner:self options:nil];
                // Grab a pointer to the first object (presumably the custom cell, as that's all the XIB should contain).
                cell = topLevelObjects[0];
                // Configure the cell...

            }

            cell.title.text = newsObject.title;             
            return cell;
        }

    }
    @catch (NSException *exception) {
        NSLog(@"Exception occurred: %@, %@", exception, [exception userInfo]);
    }
    return nil;
}

very good explanation on this post.

simple you have to add last row and hide it and when table row hit last row than show the row and load more items.
