You can use UIPickerView, its mostly used as a dropdown menu in iOS. But again, its mostly used as an input source. You can go with table view as a standard approach.

You can use an UISearchBar and UISearchBarDelegate and update an UITableView. To get the idea look at the contacts app in your iPhone.

You can use UIButton(custom) and set background image with combobox image(you can get from google or create thorough GIMP in MAC), if user presses the button,show UIPIckerview below the button or at the bottom of iphone screen or wherever you want.after selecting value from it, you can hide pickerview and change the title of UIButton.you can achieve this through tableview also.

I know it's a bit late in the day but, for anyone else looking for drop down list functionality, I came across this, which appears to do the trick: http://www.addimage.net/blog/post/2012/04/11/Apple-iOS-Drop-Down-Menu-class.aspx
