Does apple have Macbook 12 inch in stock in case of damage with Apple Care+?

Say your MacBook got driven over and its now discontinued. How would Apple replace this if they no longer have stock to sell?

With all of the service parts that can build a complete machine that they're required by law to keep for at least 5 years after discontinuation.

There are several in the Apple UK Refurb store.

Apple would always try to repair your computer first. I accidentally dropped and poured a can of coke onto my MacBook and they replaced the whole top case, and screen. The only one not replaced was the bottom panel.

On AC+ for Macs, It's not like iOS devices where they would easily swap out devices.

It is more likely that Apple will replace your Macbook 12" with a Macbook Air 13" as this is more cost effective for them to do than to maintain stock of an outdated model for 5 years.
