Have you tried any of the properties like calendar (NSCalendar), locale (NSLocale) and timeZone (NSTimeZone) ? Those are what drive much of NSDateFormatter… By default they probably inherit from the current system settings or whatever the app inherits at launch. Date, time and number formats are generally provided defaults as part of locale and calendar in Cocoa and largely via the underlying Unicode CLDR and ICU standard open source libraries. But when you need to provide something that differs from the current user's system preferences settings, you can do so. Example, a locale based on en-US would likely have the Month Day Year convention so common in everyday life in the USA. However, some contexts in the USA use other formats, in such cases, your app might want to provide that.
