What Y level is best for iron now?

Question

I keep strip mining around Y 16 out of habit but iron feels way rarer than it used to be. Is there a better height after the cave update, or do people just go hunting in big caves now?

for regular ore it's around Y 15, or way up in the mountains - it's common high up too. if you want a lot at once, go deep (between about -8 and -60) and look for iron veins, the big streaks mixed with tuff and raw iron blocks.
