Set date, time, and telephone number formats:

Choose General > International > Region Format, and choose your region.

well, this gives me everything but the ISO date format yyyy-mm-dd that I want. My region would give me dd.mm.yyyy so the question is if there is any region that uses the international date format such that I can choose it.

I know of no other way to set the date format other than what I mentioned in my previous post. There are third party apps that will do what you want in the app. store, but they are not permitted to access the underlining software.
