This isn't quite correct. "j:mm" is a template, not an actual format string. When you run it through every possible locale, you get this output:

With the resulting date format string, you can strip out the "a" format character (which is what becomes the AM/PM designator), and then give that format string to -[NSDateFormatter setDateFormat:].
