The fingerprint scanner in the new iPhone, does not scan your fingerprint as such, only specific markers in your print. Ie. it is really useless, unless you use the same-ish software to decode it.
Also, it is never sent from the phone, so there's no external database of these things - Including NSA, which has to hack your phone specifically, in order to get it.

Apple doesn't always announce new iPhones and iPods together, so keep up the hope.. But I assume you are right, in that we won't see more changes for the short future.
