Is this a scam?

is this an apple owned thing? Seems weird with their logos but I caught some errors in the text. Just curious.

Never assume that just because the word "apple" is in the domain name that it belongs to Apple. Though the very long string of gobbledygook after the slash automatically makes it spam.
If you ever want to check who a site belongs to, there are numerous places you can do searches on. I use this one.
A domain name/IP search for apple.com gives you the ownership you'd expect it to have:
Registrant Name: Domain Administrator

Um. Yeah, sure. Blocked for "privacy". More like, make it a bit harder to find a criminal. Country code IS is Iceland. But the domain obviously has nothing to do with Apple.
