NSDate has a -timeIntervalSinceDate: method.

Therefore:

NSTimeInterval tval = [date1 timeIntervalSinceDate: date2];
int sec = tval % 60,
    min = tval - 60*sec;

as you get the days you can convert into time.

But if you want exact difference , like if it is 1.5 days

you have to convert date into timestamp then find the difference

So Alexsander want to say you take this:

double difference = [date1 timeIntervalSinceDate:date2] / 60;
The difference is now in minutes.
