Is this a scam?

Text message appears to be from Apple asking me to follow a link to renew my Apple ID which will expire today. Is this a scam?

Yes, this is a scam. Your Apple ID does not need renewal and Apple will never contact you in this way

Text from Apple support I received a text saying my Apple ID is ready to be recovered. I didn’t try to recover my id. Should I be worried or is this a random phishing scam?

Yes. Apple IDs don’t expire on their own.
