Swift (as extension) - works for multi line uilabel:

swift4: (attributes param of boundingRect changed slightly)

extension UILabel {

    var isTruncated: Bool {

        guard let labelText = text else {
            return false
        }

        let labelTextSize = (labelText as NSString).boundingRect(
            with: CGSize(width: frame.size.width, height: .greatestFiniteMagnitude),
            options: .usesLineFragmentOrigin,
            attributes: [.font: font],
            context: nil).size

        return labelTextSize.height > bounds.size.height
    }
}

swift3:

extension UILabel {

    var isTruncated: Bool {

        guard let labelText = text else { 
            return false
        }

        let labelTextSize = (labelText as NSString).boundingRect(
            with: CGSize(width: frame.size.width, height: .greatestFiniteMagnitude),
            options: .usesLineFragmentOrigin,
            attributes: [NSFontAttributeName: font],
            context: nil).size

        return labelTextSize.height > bounds.size.height
    }
}

swift2:

extension UILabel {

    func isTruncated() -> Bool {

        if let string = self.text {

            let size: CGSize = (string as NSString).boundingRectWithSize(
                CGSize(width: self.frame.size.width, height: CGFloat(FLT_MAX)),
                options: NSStringDrawingOptions.UsesLineFragmentOrigin,
                attributes: [NSFontAttributeName: self.font],
                context: nil).size

            if (size.height > self.bounds.size.height) {
                return true
            }
        }

        return false
    }
