Any dust that I can’t really get out the screen edges with the iPhone 13 pro makes me stressed and always look for dust. How do you just ignore or just enjoy the phone and forget about it?

Damage what? I use it all the time to clean out the lightning ports on my devices. I wouldn't use compressed air at 100psi from an actual shop compressor but what comes out of those cans can't damage anything.
So it wouldn’t damage anything if I used it on the screen edges?

Isn’t compressed air not advised to use since it could cause damage?
I use it all of the time, especially when I'm switching cases. My theory as to why Apple advises against using it is because most people use it wrong and that could possibly damage the phone. The cans aren't supposed to be shaken before use, but a lot of people shake it, thinking it's like any other spray that comes in a can. If the cans are shaken, a cold white substance often sprays out of the can (kind of like frost). I also spray at an angle so I'm shooting the dust and debris away from the phone as opposed to into the phone. Like I said, that's just my theory.
