How to compare AM PM in swift

I hardly try but can't find how to compare am and pm.

formatter.locale = Locale(identifier: "en_US_POSIX")
        formatter.dateFormat = "h:mm a"
        formatter.amSymbol = "AM"
        formatter.pmSymbol = "PM"
        dateString = formatter.string(from: Date())

        // date Format
        dateFormatter.timeStyle = DateFormatter.Style.none;
        dateFormatter.dateStyle = DateFormatter.Style.medium;
        currentDate = dateFormatter.string(from: now);

        if self.dateString >= "09:00 AM" { return true }

In iOS, Apple provide compare function to compare to Date objects. Please find the below code to compare time

    let formatter = DateFormatter()
    formatter.locale = Locale(identifier: "en_US_POSIX")
    formatter.dateFormat = "h:mm a"
    formatter.amSymbol = "AM"
    formatter.pmSymbol = "PM"
    let timeString = formatter.string(from: Date())

    let firstTime = formatter.date(from: "09:00 AM")
    let secondTime = formatter.date(from: dateString)


    if firstTime?.compare(secondTime!) == .orderedAscending {
        print("First Time is smaller then Second Time")
    }
