This solution works iOS 7 and above

Just subclass UIButton

@interface UIButton (Image)

- (void)swapTextWithImage;

@end

@implementation UIButton (Image)

- (void)swapTextWithImage {
   const CGFloat kDefaultPadding = 6.0f;
   CGSize buttonSize = [self.titleLabel.text sizeWithAttributes:@{
                                                               NSFontAttributeName:self.titleLabel.font
                                                               }];

   self.titleEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, -self.imageView.frame.size.width, 0, self.imageView.frame.size.width);
   self.imageEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, buttonSize.width + kDefaultPadding, 0, -buttonSize.width); 
}

@end

Usage (Somewhere in your class):

[self.myButton setTitle:@"Any text" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[self.myButton swapTextWithImage];
