The reason why Alkyl Halides undego substitution reactions is that C-Halogen bond is polar.
Electronegativity of C=2.5 and that of Iodine is 2.5 as well!So,how about Alkyl iodides?

Halogens are good leaving groups, barring fluorine, as well. In alkyl iodides, the bigger size of the iodine atom increases the C-I bond length, consequently making it easier to rupture during substitution. Iodine is thus a good leaving group.
