Scam phone call?
I’ve received two automated phone calls in the past 24 hours that states Apple has detected suspicious activity on my iPhone and iCloud. It instructs me to contact a phone number. Is this call legitimate or scam?
iPhone SE, iOS 14

Very much a scam.
Apple does not make such calls.
All such calls are scams from criminals attempting to steal your personal and financial information. The callers will often use number spoofing to pretend they are calling from a legitimate business. The correct course of action is to ignore the calls or hang up on them, repeatedly if needed.
