Email from no_reply-receipt@apple.com?

I received and email saying that my AppleID has been locked and I need to update my information before 24 hours or my account will permanently be locked. The email came from no_reply-receipt@apple.com and it seems like a phishing scam since it provided no personal information, but I also don’t want to ignore this in case it’s real. Is this a legit message?

iPhone XR, iOS 14

Apple would not warn of a pending account issue, giving you a deadline to fix the issue.
Apple does not include document, or PDF files to download.
Apple would not refer to you as Dear Customer(s), Dear Client(s), or anything other than the name on file for your account.
Apple would not have such horrible spelling or grammar.
Apple would not send a message to “Undisclosed Recipients”.

It is a phishing attempt. Do not respond. Do not divulge any personal or financial information. You can use the address below to forward the suspect email message, as an attachment to Apple.

reportphishing@apple.com

If you provided your Apple ID and password at the bogus site, change your password immediately.
