From Apple's example, basically use an NSCalendar:

NSDate * date1 = ;
NSDate * date2 = <...>;

NSCalendar *gregorian = [[NSCalendar alloc]
                 initWithCalendarIdentifier:NSGregorianCalendar];

NSUInteger unitFlags = NSMonthCalendarUnit | NSDayCalendarUnit;

NSDateComponents *components = [gregorian components:unitFlags
                                          fromDate:date1
                                          toDate:date2 options:0];

NSInteger months = [components month];
NSInteger days = [components day];
