You should not consider the dates that support for these initial revisions had started, you should consider the dates it had been dropped. For x86, it's "never", unlike for modern ARM (see sibling comment).

The article you link is saying that ARM’s Cortex-A reference designs will no longer include 32-bit support, which has nothing to do with Apple since Apple uses their own custom designs. Apple dropped 32 bit support in their own designs in (IIRC) 2016.
