is it okay to use my iPhone on a jetski? I’m going on a beach roadtrip vacation in a few days and I’m planning to record a few videos (Instagram stories or Snapchats) and take some pictures for the memories while I’m on the jetski. fyi I’m not the one driving the jetski but I just want to know if I can use my iPhone while taking a ride on it.
iPhone 12 mini, iOS 17
It's a great idea, if your goal is to destroy your iPhone so you can buy a new iPhone. But if you don't want to destroy your phone, it's a very very very bad idea.

To prevent liquid damage, avoid:
Minimize exposing your iPhone to soap, detergent, acids or acidic foods, and any liquids — for example, perfume, insect repellent, lotions, sunscreen, oil, adhesive remover, hair dye, and solvents. If your iPhone comes into contact with any of these substances, follow the instructions to clean your iPhone.

That sounds like a very bad idea.
iPhones are not waterproof, they are water resistant, and that isn't even guaranteed. They are also susceptible to shock, and jet skis can give you a pretty rough ride.
If you absolutely have to do it, get a waterproof case made for diving and make sure you have a float on it. If you drop it in the water, it will sink to the bottom instantly.
It is splash resistant, and that is under laboratory conditions. Once the phone is used for a while, the resistance can go away.
You really don't want to do this without a diving approved case on it.
No. Absolutely not.
It is NOT waterproof.

If you must, have a look look on B&H's website. They are a high end photo store, the products they sell are good quality.
