A NSDate is stored in a timezone neutral way. It's up to the NSDateFormatter to actually format for a given timezone using -[NSDateFormatter setTimeZone:]. If you want a string from NSDate, there's also -[NSDate descriptionWithCalendarFormat:timeZone:locale:], but it's usually better to use a NSDateFormatter instead.
