I have some code which loads a jpg from data and displays it in a UIImageView. Because this takes a second, I want to load a lower quality version of the image and display that while the full image is loading. Is this possible?

You should have a look at Image I/O
It lets you create a thumbnail from a source image and supports retrieving a thumbnail that may be embedded within the source image. JPG images often have a low quality thumbnail embedded within them.
Also, if loading the image is blocking your app, you should consider doing it on a background thread: load uiimage from file using grand central dispatch
