To get touch location you can use another variant of button action method: myAction:forEvent: (if you create it from IB interface note "sender and event" option in arguments field: )

Then in your action handler you can get touch location from event parameter, for example:

- (IBAction)myAction:(UIButton *)sender forEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
    NSSet *touches = [event touchesForView:sender];
    UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
    CGPoint touchPoint = [touch locationInView:sender];
    NSLog(@"%@", NSStringFromCGPoint(touchPoint));
}
