You can apply the IPCC file without jailbreaking, although I believe it still requires erasing all your settings and contents.

The IPCC file is a ZIP file with a bunch of images and XML files with interesting settings within.

There's a lot of superfluous FUD ("iOS uses more data than other smartphones, even when idle", which is not true) regarding iOS in the article.

He was quoting the carriers, though I could see how the statement could get misconstrued:

    However, from previous statements released by AT&T and many tech orginizations, iPhones are very complex devices with a very complex OS. The OS eats much more data, even when in idle mode, than most phones on the market. So by carrier request, Apple limits devices to "even out" the network, even if it means Galaxy users out perform Apple devices by such large scales.

The superfluous FUD that you quoted was actually the article quoting the carrier, and their excuses for doing such a thing.

It doesn't require you to erase your settings and contents [1]. You only have to do that if you want to revert or something goes wrong. It's actually very easy to install without a jailbreak.
