Works but with caveats

🔌 Cable

Compatible
Pixel 8a: usb-ciPhone 17: usb-c

Both use usb-c — your cable works. The iPhone 17 supports up to 30W (vs 27W) so you may want a higher-wattage cable for max speed.

🔋 Wall Adapter

Works but slower

Your 27W adapter works but charges the iPhone 17 at 27W instead of its 30W max. Upgrade to a 30W+ adapter for full speed.
