Verifying the Time & Date on iOS

A look at getting the true time and date.

Time is unique in the modern world because it is one of the very few things we all agree on. Yes, it’s true the Americans, the Russians, the Chinese, absolutely everyone on the planet agree about this one thing — time. Of course it hasn’t always been that way, in fact it wasn’t until 1884 that the world agreed to agree what the time is. Implicit within that agreement we have this concept of hours, minutes and seconds too, units we also thankfully agree on.
