[NSDate date]returns the current date. However, anNSDatedoes not have a timezone of its own, it’s just an absolute point in time. The timezone only comes into play when you present the date as a string or convert it into date components (like day, month, hour, etc.).Use
NSDateFormatterto get a string representation of the date in the current time zone or usesetTimeZone:on the date formatter to specify a different one. If you simply useNSLog, the date will be presented in the UTC timezone (by implicitly callingdescriptionon the date object).Use the
NSCalendarmethodcomponents:fromDate:to extract individual components (with a given timezone) from your date for typical comparisons, like “do these two dates fall on the same day in this timezone?”.
