I have two dates, one is in the UTC timezone and the other is in New Zealand. I need to compare if one date is greater than the other.
How do I do this? Do I need to convert them to the same timezone first?

NSDates don’t have timezones. They represent absolute moments in time. As long as you made theNSDates correctly — i.e., if you created them via anNSDateFormatter, it has a timezone that needs to be set — you can compare them directly.
