Detecting partial touch on UIButton

Question

I've created a UIButton and detect the touch event by:

[myButton addTarget:self action:@selector(buttonClicked:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

Everything works fine when I press exactly on the button.
My problem is that if I press with my finger part on the button and part outside - The event is not detected.
Is there another event I should use?
Am I doing something wrong here?

I'm sure people will say that you have to press exactly in the button but I'm trying to give the best user experience and resolve this issue.
Thanks!

You may want to enlarge your button, making perhaps a transparent area around your image.

Or maybe use UIControlEventTouchDown/UIControlEventTouchUpOutside instead of UIControlEventTouchUpInside ?
