I know this is an old thread, but another way to do this is to subclass the button and specify a square size for the button label.

@interface RotatingButton : UIButton

@end


@implementation RotatingButton

- (CGRect) titleRectForContentRect:(CGRect)bounds {
    CGRect frame = [super titleRectForContentRect:bounds];

    frame.origin.y -= (frame.size.width - frame.size.height) / 2;
    frame.size.height = frame.size.width;

    return frame;
}

@end

The label of any RotatingButton created in code or on Storyboard can be rotated without being truncated.

[button.titleLabel setTransform:CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(M_PI / 2)];
