Swift: How to adjust width of Date Picker with mode set to Time Only

There seems to be some wasted space towards the right of the date picker component:

enter image description here

And it doesn't matter if I increase or decrease the value of width/height of its frame; it stays the standard size.

    let datePicker = UIDatePicker(frame: CGRect(x: 20, y: 100, width: 500, height: 200))
    datePicker.datePickerMode = .date
    view.addSubview(datePicker)

My question is, can it be adjusted?

edit: So I managed to find its short form but thats only addable through the storyboard.

Heres the view:

enter image description here

The top first picker is added programmatically and the second via storyboard. For some reason, I'm unable to make the programmatically created picker smaller...

You can just ask the date picker which size is sufficient ;)

Option A

let datePicker = UIDatePicker()
datePicker.datePickerMode = .date

// Let it size itself to its preferred size
datePicker.sizeToFit()
// Set the frame without changing the size
datePicker.frame = .init(x: 20, y: 100, width: datePicker.bounds.size.width, height: datePicker.bounds.size.height)

view.addSubview(datePicker)

Option B

let datePicker = UIDatePicker()
datePicker.datePickerMode = .date

// Ask the picker for its preferred size
let datePickerPreferredSize = datePicker.systemLayoutSizeFitting(view.bounds.size)
// Set the frame using that size
datePicker.frame = .init(x: 20, y: 100, width: datePickerPreferredSize.width, height: datePickerPreferredSize.height)

view.addSubview(datePicker)
