Here is my solution.

- (IBAction) micButtonTouchedDownAction {
    self.micButtonTimer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:0.5 target:self selector:@selector(micButtonAction:) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];
    self.micButtonReleased = FALSE;
}

- (IBAction) micButtonTouchedUpInsideAction {
    self.micButtonReleased = TRUE;
}

- (IBAction) micButtonTouchedUpOutsideAction {
    self.micButtonReleased = TRUE;
}

- (void) micButtonAction:(NSTimer *)timer {
    [self.micButtonTimer invalidate];
    self.micButtonTimer = nil;

    if(self.micButtonReleased) {
        NSLog(@"Tapped");
    }
    else {
        NSLog(@"Touched");
    }
}
