Right at the launch of the iPhone the people at Apple had announced that they are not keeping the copy of fingerprints any where on their server so I don't think there is any need to worry about it.

I think you should wait till 20th of September to find out the exact price of the iPhone 5S it can vary from country to country.

You seem to be really frustrated with Google for some reason to be true to you Google does not control how the Android OS looks the final version is largely edited by the mobile developers, so you might be annoyed with HTC, Samsung or some other company and you are yelling at Google for...

The next iPhone will take about 6-7 months to launch if you have that much patience yes you can wait. Also I am sure the prices of the iPhone will decrease with time and you will get better deals from ebay and other sites so it is better to wait and watch.

Yes they do look cool but I am not sure they will be able to protect it from screen damage a cover is much better.

Yes Apple store does help you set up the phone and will answer your queries as well it is much like any other electronics store.

Biometric recognition is a old things in PC's but something new on the mobile front. Apple has come up with some unique ideas and patents I was wondering if they have implemented the new drop damage prevention idea I had heard apple had filed a patent for it some months ago.

yes you should buy from Apple store only, they are the most reliable source else you might end up getting no warranty or problems with the device later.

Yes as poison ivy said above there are sites which can check if your phone is locked or not imei is one such site here is another method I found on a site see if it works for you

you will need to have a m4r version of the file in order to make it work as a ringtone on an iPhone as yptcn has said it above here is a complete tutorial on it see it works for you. http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/how-to-make-ringtones-for-iphone/

You should use some other app if you are facing problem though apple has tried to fix this bug in the new updates you can try toengage the mute switch while you are on the call. It's the little slider above the volume buttons. You can also see the discussion here for more details...

Just in the other post I saw someone talk about time capsule I think it will be of great help to you as well.

I still think that 5S may loose on some aspects because S versions are just minor upgrades if it were an iPhone 6 we may see a great deal of changes in the hardware of an iPHone

I read the news of this on cnet and I personally feel that it may have some truth behind it. check the site below which started the rumour. http://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2013/07/rumor-apple-to-make-huge-shift-to-igzo-displays-in-2014.html

Yes there are several options for wireless hard drives the apple time capsule will also work great though you may need to format it if you want to it to work on different OS.
