I still have my doubts of Jafar being free. In the spin-off there was only one way to break the genie curse, in fact, for Cyrus to be free Will had to take his place. So it is weird to me that no one had to take Jafar's place in the bottle. It's even more weird that Nyx didn't come after him for it. Well, Jafar and Amara were sort of like genie experts. So, it's not farfetched to believe he could find a way. Nyx is limited by water, so chances are she doesn't care now because he's a staff. But this is where it gets all plot-holey. If it was that easy to break the genie spell, why couldn't Alice and Cyrus or Will and Ana break it? Especially since anyone who saw the spinoff, witnessed the first kiss Will and Ana had, yet it didn't break the curse. The likely answer is in Jafar's case: He knew, but he wasn't trying to free Cyrus and his brothers. In Aladdin's case, he became a genie willingly and the lamp was unique because Aladdin was cursed by Nyx or along that line.
