I would think that any moisture under the screen protector would easily evaporate as the OtterBox Defender case is not waterproof.

Did the phone screen get cleaned and the Otterbox inside get washed with warm water and a mild soap then dried before putting the phone in?

Two questions, first, is the moisture evident only when the screen is blank (black) then is no longer easily seen when the screen is active? Second, when the moisture is evident, If you remove the phone from the case is there definitely moisture droplets on one or both surfaces? If the answer to both of the above is no then I would not worry about it. I see something similar on my phone occasionally depending on the lighting in the area. I'm not sure about the scientific term for it but it has something to do with the way light passes through the plastic screen protector of the case and the fact that it is so close to the phone's screen. Something about refractive interference. If the answer to the second question is yes then its time to watch how the phone is being used as it is being exposed to moisture somehow.
As far as washing the case goes, I do wash then rinse mine every couple of months or so. When done I wipe it off as best I can then let it air dry overnight before putting the phone back into it.

Good phone. I got two years out of mine before passing it on to my wife who is still using it. It’s now about 3 years old and doing well.
I remember that some of these iPhones had problems with their battery, just like the iPhone 6s. While there’s a replacement program for the 6s, there’s no such option for the iPhone 6.
It would be best to take the iPhone to the next Apple Retail Store. Diagnostics are free. They’ll tell you exactly what’s causing your issue, whether or not it’s worth repairing, and if it can be repaired: how much that will cost.
I just replaced the battery on my iPhone 6 after 3 years of use.
