Using the user's currentLocale from the device, I want to have a date format exactly like the one generated for NSDateFormatterFullStyle minus the year:

[dateFormatter setDateStyle:NSDateFormatterFullStyle];

Friday, 21 September (2012)

I've noticed the iPhone app, Living Earth does this and works for all locales, so does the iPhone lock screen. A custom formatter such as, [dateFormatter setDateFormat:@"EEEE, MMMM"]; won't change with localisation.

Can anyone shed some light on how to accomplish this? None of the options for date style seem to do this.

Thanks
