You can check with,

[dateFormatter setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone timeZoneForSecondsFromGMT:0]];

in place of,

[dateFormatter setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone systemTimeZone]];

I have revised @ACB's code as there were a few typos , try [dateFormatter setTimezone:[NSTimeZone timeZoneForSecondsFromGMT:0]]; instead of [dateFormatter setTimeZone:[NSTimeZone systemTimeZone]];. This seems to work for me.

I would like to give credit for this answer to @ACB. He/she came up with this technique and I only confirmed it.
