When I first wrote about SimCity coming to the iPhone back in November, the first question someone asked me was if the cheat codes would work? Managing a city can be rough, some people just want to build stuff and see what happens without having to worry about the money. Well, I have good news for those people: the cheat codes do work - at least some of them.

Following the launch of SimCity in the App Store, people were again asking about the use of cheat codes in the comments. Commenter Jason P today informed us of the trick to bring up the cheat code input box: Simply shake the iPhone. Once you do that, you’re greated with a box that says "Enter Cheat Code."

It appears that there are two known cheat codes that currently work. Entering "i am weak" into the box allows you to build anything for no cost, while entering "pay tribute to your king" gives you all of the reward buildings without you having to earn them.
